The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Theory of genomic imprinting conflict in social insects

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2003
Background Genomic imprinting refers to the differential expression of genes inherited from the mother and father (matrigenes and patrigenes). The kinship theory of genomic imprinting treats parent-specific gene expression as products of within-genome ...

MAP7D2 is a brain expressing X-linked maternal imprinted gene in humans [PDF]

, 2011
Increasing evidence suggests imprinted genes influence mouse and human behaviors and cognitive functions. Unlike autosomal imprinted genes, X-linked imprinted genes are expressed in a sex-dependent manner because of male hemizygosity.

Birth seasonality studies in a large Prader-Willi syndrome cohort. [PDF]

, 2019
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is generally due to sporadic paternal deletions of the chromosome 15q11-q13 region followed by maternal disomy 15. Advanced maternal age is more commonly seen in those with maternal disomy 15. Environmental factors (e.g., drug

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Genomic imprinting and assisted reproduction

Reproductive Health, 2004
Imprinted genes exhibit a parent-of-origin specific pattern of expression. Such genes have been shown to be targets of molecular defects in particular genetic syndromes such as Beckwith-Wiedemann and Angelman syndromes. Recent reports have raised concern

Profiling allele-specific gene expression in brains from individuals with autism spectrum disorder reveals preferential minor allele usage. [PDF]

, 2019
One fundamental but understudied mechanism of gene regulation in disease is allele-specific expression (ASE), the preferential expression of one allele.

KRAB Zinc‐Finger Protein ZNF205 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma via p53 Pathway Repression

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
ZNF205 functions as a critical oncogenic regulator in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), where it interacts with p53 and functionally suppresses its transcriptional activity by competitively inhibiting p53 binding to target gene promoters. This p53 inactivation mechanism critically contributes to tumor progression in HCC. ABSTRACT The tumor suppressor p53

CTCF-mediated transcriptional regulation through cell type-specific chromosome organization in the {\beta}-globin locus [PDF]

, 2012
The principles underlying the architectural landscape of chromatin beyond the nucleosome level in living cells remains largely unknown despite its potential to play a role in mammalian gene regulation. We investigated the 3-dimensional folding of a 1 Mbp
