DOI: 10.1002/bies.201800212
Abstract: Humans spend large portions of their time and energy talking to one another, yet it remains unclear whether this activity is primarily selfish or altruistic. Here, it is shown how parent‐of‐origin specific gene expression—or “genomic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2022.110500
Abstract: Noncanonical genomic imprinting can cause biased expression of one parental allele in a tissue; however, the functional relevance of such biases is unclear. To investigate ethological roles for noncanonical imprinting in dopa decarboxylase (Ddc) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiac520
Abstract: Genomic imprinting promotes differential expression of parental alleles in the endosperm of flowering plants, and is regulated by epigenetic modification such as DNA methylation and histone tail modifications in chromatin. After fertilization, the endosperm develops… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12925
Abstract: Genomic imprinting is known from flowering plants and mammals but has not been confirmed for the Hymenoptera even though the eusocial Hymenoptera are prime candidates for this peculiar form of gene expression. Here, the kin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adc8786
Abstract: The X and Y chromosomes of channel catfish have the same gene contents. Here, we report allelic hypermethylation of the X chromosome within the sex determination region (SDR). Accordingly, the X-borne hydin-1 gene was silenced,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.713878
Abstract: Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that results in unequal expression of homologous maternal and paternal alleles. This process is initiated in the germline, and the parental epigenetic memories can be maintained following fertilization and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.832983
Abstract: In viviparous mammals, genomic imprinting regulates parent-of-origin-specific monoallelic expression of paternally and maternally expressed imprinted genes (PEGs and MEGs) in a region-specific manner. It plays an essential role in mammalian development: aberrant imprinting regulation causes… read more here.
