Genomic imprinting reveals parental genome differences, impacting mammalian growth and behavior. Understanding its evolution and role in diseases requires further research into imprinted genes and epigenetic mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Epigenetics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Genomic imprinting demonstrates functional non-equivalence of parental genomes in mammals.
  • Over 20 years, numerous imprinted genes have been identified and functionally analyzed.
  • These genes regulate diverse functions including growth, physiology, and behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advances in genomic imprinting research.
  • To discuss the enigmatic evolutionary origins of genomic imprinting.
  • To explore the potential links between imprinted genes, mammalian physiology, and human diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Identification and functional analysis of imprinted genes.
  • Elucidation of imprinting mechanisms.
