Synonyms: | regulation of gene expression by DNA imprinting, regulation of gene expression by genetic imprinting |
Definition: | OBSOLETE. An epigenetic mechanism of regulation of gene expression in which epigenetic modifications (imprints) are established during gametogenesis. For a given gene to show parentally biased expression, the imprint are established exclusively in one of the two parental genomes, thus generating an asymmetry between the maternal and paternal alleles. |
