X chromosome inactivation, differentiation, and DNA methylation revisited, with a tribute to Susumu Ohno.

abstract：:Only mammals have relinquished parthenogenesis as a means of producing descendants. Bi-parental reproduction is necessary due to parent-specific epigenetic modification of the genome during gametogenesis, which leads to non-equivalent expression of imprinted genes from the maternal and paternal alleles. However, a ser...
