Autophagy and apoptosis: parent-of-origin genome-dependent mechanisms of cellular self-destruction

Functional genomic imprinting is necessary for the transfer of maternal resources to mammalian embryos. Imprint-free embryos are unable to establish a viable placental vascular network necessary for the transfer of resources such as nutrients and oxygen. How the parental origin of inherited genes in...
