The evolution of genomic imprinting : a comparative analysis of the DLK1/DIO3 domain in extant vertebrates
Functional data indicates that genomic imprinting arose alongside placentation in therian mammals. This theory predicts that oviparous monotremes will not imprint but viviparous marsupials will. The <i>DLK1/DIO3</i> cluster (approximately 1 million base pairs long) is ideal for investiga...
