Genomic imprinting in Singapore
The EMBO Workshop on Genomic Imprinting took place between 21 and 24 September 2008, in Singapore, and was organized by F. Berger, M. Bartolomei and R. Feil. This painting, entitled ‘Back of Telok Ayer Street 2007’ and painted by C. Ek Kay, was the image included in the meeting poster.

DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferases [PDF]
The prevailing views as to the form, function, and regulation of genomic methylation patterns have their origin many years in the past, at a time when the structure of the mammalian genome was only dimly perceived, when the number of protein-encoding ...

Genomic imprinting is the modification of gene expression depending on whether the genetic material is inherited from the mother or the father. The article reviews the concept and its implications in various human disorders such as the chromosomal deletion syndromes, human cancers, endocrine disorders, and various other diseases which show parent-of ...

Parent-of-origin effects cause genetic variation in pig performance traits
In order to assess the relative importance of genomic imprinting for the genetic variation of traits economically relevant for pork production, a data set containing 21 209 records from Large White pigs was analysed.

Technical advances contribute to the study of genomic imprinting.
Genomic imprinting in mammals was discovered over 30 years ago through elegant embryological and genetic experiments in mice. Imprinted genes show a monoallelic and parent of origin-specific expression pattern; the development of techniques that can ...

Zfp57 mutant ES cell lines directly derived from blastocysts
Zfp57 is a master regulator of genomic imprinting in mouse embryos. To further test its functions, we have derived multiple Zfp57 mutant ES clones directly from mouse blastocysts.

Genomic imprinting and genetic effects on muscle traits in mice
Background Genomic imprinting refers to parent-of-origin dependent gene expression caused by differential DNA methylation of the paternally and maternally derived alleles.
