Abstract Histone modifications can regulate many chromatin-related processes such as transcription, replication and DNA-repair, they can demarcate the genomic position of regulatory elements such as enhancers and may be involved in disease processes if …

Abstract Although the H19 gene was discovered in 1984, its precise function is still relatively poorly understood. lt is located on mouse chromosome 7, close to the Jg/2 (insulin-like growth factor 2) gene, in an imprinted locus. The maternal allele …

Abstract Germ cell differentiation allows the production of mature gametes that are competent for fertilization and that carry genetic but also non-genetically encoded information. DNA methylation is an autonomous epigenetic mark, with intrinsic stability …

Abstract Epigenetic regulation plays essential roles in development and disease and may become perturbed as a consequence of dietary and environ mental factors [1] . One of the best characterized epigenetic phenomena in ma mmals is genomic imprinting, a …

Abstract The majority of autosomal genes in mamma are believed to be expressed from both alleles. However a number of imprinted genes exist and an increasing number of loci may be expressed monoallelically in a random fashion, similar to the X chromosome …

Abstract In mammals, the dosage imbalance between males and females resulting from the presence of heteromorphie sex chromosomes is compensated for by the inactivation of one X-chromosome in females. This process, which is initiated during the early …

Abstract Position effect variegation (PEY) is an archetypal epigenetic phenomenon in which a gene abnormally located close to heterochromatin is stochastically silenced in a proportion of cells that would normally express it. First described in Drosophila …
