abstract：:Genomic imprinting is the phenomenon whereby mono-allelic expression of certain genes occurs depending on their parental origin. The observation that imprinting only occurs in placental mammals has led to the suggestion that it may play a role in this form of reproduction. In the present study we have investigated the...
