Do social insects support Haig's kin theory for the evolution of genomic imprinting?
Epigenetics, 2017 Although numerous imprinted genes have been described in several lineages, the phenomenon of genomic imprinting presents a peculiar evolutionary problem.

Sexual imprinting of offspring on their parents and siblings
Cogent Psychology, 2017 Based on data provided anonymously by 2,611 women and 1,452 men using a computerized questionnaire, we found that 19.2% of women vs. 16% of men (p

Expression of DLK1 and MEG3 genes in porcine tissues during postnatal development
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 The Drosophila-like homolog 1 (DLK1), a transmembrane signal protein similar to other members of the Notch/Delta/Serrate family, regulates the differentiation process in many types of mammalian cells.

EFFECTS OF HUMAN IMPRINTING AND TAMING ON TRACTABILITY OF WILD TURKEYS USED FOR RESEARCH
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1995 : Imprinting wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) to humans facilitates their use as research subjects but can require a large time investment for the imprinting process.

Derivation and investigation of the first human cell-based model of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
Epigenetics, 2021 Genomic imprinting is a rare form of gene expression in mammals in which a small number of genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. The aetiology of human imprinting disorders is diverse and includes chromosomal abnormalities, mutations,

Genome scan for parent-of-origin QTL effects on bovine growth and carcass traits
Frontiers in Genetics, 2011 Parent-of-origin effects (POE) such as genomic imprinting influence growth and body composition in livestock, rodents and humans. Here, we report the results of a genome scan to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) with POE on growth and carcass traits ...

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2013 AbstractImprinting is a type of learning by which an animal restricts its social preferences to an object after exposure to that object. Filial imprinting occurs shortly after birth or hatching and sexual imprinting, around the onset of sexual maturity; both have sensitive periods. This review is concerned mainly with filial imprinting.
