Term Name: obsolete regulation of gene expression by genomic imprinting Search Ontology:
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.
