Parent-of-origin effects probably contribute to the genetic architecture of complex traits, but they are rarely included in studies of genetic architecture. It is crucial to distinguish between ...
Genomic imprinting violates the usual rules of Mendelian expression in a diploid individual by privileging the expression of one of the two copies of a gene, depending on its parental origin. The ...
Research led by Dr. Keiji Tanimoto from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, has brought us closer to understanding the mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of genomic imprinting. In this intriguing ...
