Evolution of genomic imprinting with biparental care: implications for Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes.
The term "imprinted gene" refers to genes whose expression is conditioned by their parental origin. Among theories to unravel the evolution of genomic imprinting, the kinship theory prevails as the most widely accepted, because it sheds light on many aspects of the biology of imprinted gen...
