Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genomic imprinting, a transcriptional regulatory mechanism that exists only in mammals, is a phenomenon in which certain genes are mono-allelically expressed only when they are paternally or maternally inherited. We have successfully identified genomic DNA region to which an epigenetic mark is added to distinguish parental origin of certain genes in offspring’s cells, by generating and analyzing gene-modified (transgenic, knock-out, and gene-edited) mouse lines.
