Identification of the imprinted KLF14 transcription factor undergoing human-specific accelerated evolution.

Identification of the imprinted KLF14 transcription factor undergoing human-specific accelerated evolution.

Imprinted genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin manner and are located in clusters throughout the genome. Aberrations in the expression of imprinted genes on human Chromosome 7 have been suggested to play a role in the etiologies of Russell-Silver Syndrome and autism. We describe the imprinting...
