LOPE

The Mechanisms of Genomic Imprinting,erefore, to invoke fundamentally novel mechanisms to explain the imprinting phenomenon in mammals. For example, the different factors involved in imprinting, such as the stable propagation of different chromatin states that repress or permit gene transcription, are well-known entities in a wide rang

Mechanisms of Transcriptional Regulation,c expression of certain genes. The assumption has been, therefore, that the transcriptional regulatory systems of imprinted genes would directly or indirectly represent the principal focus of the imprinting process. As this chapter will discuss, however, our perceptions of gene regulation mechanisms

A large body of experimental data, that has been accumulated in the last two decades or so, clearly indicates that epigenetic control of gene expression in mammals is achieved by DNA m
