Genomic imprinting is the process by which gene activity is regulated according to parent of origin. Usually, this means that either the maternally inherited or the paternally inherited allele of a gene is expressed while the opposite allele is repressed. The phenomenon is largely restricted to mammals and flowering plants and was first recognized at the level of whole genomes. Nuclear transplantation experiments carried out in mice in the late 1970s established the non-equivalence of the maternal and paternal genomes in mammals, and a similar conclusion was drawn from studies of interploidy crosses of flowering plants that extend back to ...

Reviews for Genomic Imprinting
"...a multi-authored volume in which the methods of gene imprinting are discussed in detail in 25 chapters. The protocols are very detailed with multiple schemes and figures." - Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism
