Since the turn of the century, circumstantial evidence has accumulated for the role of imprinted genes (those only expressed from one parent) in mental illnesses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an array that assesses methylation levels of genes located in imprint control regions (ICRs) within the human genome. The array ...

In mammals, the expression of certain genes depends on which parent they were inherited from. For most genes in a cell, both copies are turned either on or off. But for a small subset of genes in ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an array that assesses methylation levels of genes located in imprint control regions (ICRs) within the human genome. The array ...

Mammalian imprinted genes are expressed from only one parental chromosome, and many are involved in regulating placental and fetal growth. It has been hypothesized that paternal imprinted genes favour ...

For their discovery of genomic imprinting, developmental biologists Davor Solter and Azim Surani will receive the 2026 Paul ...
