Genome-wide mapping of imprinted differentially methylated regions by DNA methylation profiling of human placentas from triploidies

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genomic imprinting is an important epigenetic process involved in regulating placental and foetal growth. Imprinted genes are typically associated with differentially methylated regions (DMRs) whereby one of the two alleles is DNA me...
