Discovering candidate imprinted genes and imprinting control regions in the human genome

Abstract Background Genomic imprinting is a process thereby a subset of genes is expressed in a parent-of-origin specific manner. This evolutionary novelty is restricted to mammals and controlled by genomic DNA segments known as Imprinting Control Regions (ICRs) and germline Differentially Methylate...
