A genome-wide analysis has identified genetic variants that have different effects on human growth and metabolic traits depending on their parental origin. Often, the same variant will push traits in ...

In a recent study published in Nucleic Acids Research, researchers mapped dynamic gene expression in mouse mammary glands across pregnancy, lactation, and weaning, creating the first cell type, stage, ...

Loss of imprinting (LOI) has been implicated in the predisposition to certain colorectal cancers. Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) is an imprinted gene in which the maternal allele is normally ...
