High-throughput analysis of candidate imprinted genes and allele-specific gene expression in the human term placenta

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Imprinted genes show expression from one parental allele only and are important for development and behaviour. This extreme mode of allelic imbalance has been described for approximately 56 human genes. Imprinting status is often dis...
