Different numbers of rye B chromosomes induce identical compaction changes in distinct A chromosome domains.

abstract：:Mouse distal chromosome 2 was one of the earliest described imprinting regions. Maternal and paternal inheritance of the region is associated with opposite phenotypes affecting growth, development and behaviour. Mis-expression of proteins determined by the imprinted Gnas locus can account for the phenotypes. The impri...
