lüll Genomic imprinting-an epigenetic gene-regulatory model Koerner MV; Barlow DPCurr Opin Genet Dev 2010[Apr]; 20 (2): 164-70Epigenetic mechanisms (Box 1) are considered to play major gene-regulatory roles in development, differentiation and disease. However, the relative importance of epigenetics in defining the mammalian transcriptome in normal and disease states is unknown. The mammalian genome contains only a few model systems where epigenetic gene regulation has been shown to play a major role in transcriptional control. These model systems are important not only to investigate the biological function of known epigenetic modifications but also to identify new and unexpected epigenetic mechanisms in the mammalian genome. Here we review recent progress in understanding how epigenetic mechanisms control imprinted gene expression.|*Genomic Imprinting[MESH]|*Models, Genetic[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Epigenesis, Genetic/*genetics[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental[MESH]|Germ Cells/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH] |
