Epigenetic modifications potentially controlling the allelic expression of imprinted genes in sunflower endosperm

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon mainly occurs in endosperm of flowering plants. Genome-wide identification of imprinted genes have been completed in several dicot Cruciferous plant and monocot crops.

Methylation of the imprinted GNAS1 gene in cell-free plasma DNA : equal steady-state quantities of methylated and unmethylated DNA in plasma [PDF]

, 2008
Background Genomic DNA sequences in cell-free plasma are biomarkers of cancer prognosis, where characteristic changes in methylation of tumour suppressor or oncogene DNA regions are indicative of changes in gene activity.

Sex dependent imprinting effects on complex traits in mice

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic source of variation in quantitative traits that results from monoallelic gene expression, where commonly either only the paternally- or the maternally-derived allele is expressed.

The Role of Long Non-coding RNAs in Human Imprinting Disorders: Prospective Therapeutic Targets

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Genomic imprinting is a term used for an intergenerational epigenetic inheritance and involves a subset of genes expressed in a parent-of-origin-dependent way.

Livestock species as emerging models for genomic imprinting

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetically-regulated process of central importance in mammalian development and evolution. It involves multiple levels of regulation, with spatio-temporal heterogeneity, leading to the context-dependent and parent-of-origin ...

A general statistical framework for dissecting parent-of-origin effects underlying endosperm traits in flowering plants

, 2010
Genomic imprinting has been thought to play an important role in seed development in flowering plants. Seed in a flowering plant normally contains diploid embryo and triploid endosperm.

Comparative analyses of CTCF and BORIS occupancies uncover two distinct classes of CTCF binding genomic regions. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundCTCF and BORIS (CTCFL), two paralogous mammalian proteins sharing nearly identical DNA binding domains, are thought to function in a mutually exclusive manner in DNA binding and transcriptional regulation.ResultsHere we show that these two ...

Characterisation of marsupial PHLDA2 reveals eutherian specific acquisition of imprinting

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Genomic imprinting causes parent-of-origin specific gene expression by differential epigenetic modifications between two parental genomes. We previously reported that there is no evidence of genomic imprinting of CDKN1C in the KCNQ1 domain in ...

Paternal obesity is associated with IGF2 hypomethylation in newborns: results from a Newborn Epigenetics Study (NEST) cohort [PDF]

, 2013
Data from epidemiological and animal model studies suggest that nutrition during pregnancy may affect the health status of subsequent generations. These transgenerational effects are now being explained by disruptions at the level of the epigenetic ...
