Assessment of imprinting- and genetic variation-dependent monoallelic expression using reciprocal allele descendants between human family trios
Abstract Genomic imprinting is an important epigenetic process that silences one of the parentally-inherited alleles of a gene and thereby exhibits allelic-specific expression (ASE). Detection of human imprinting events is hampered by the infeasibility of the reciprocal mating system in humans and t...
