Abstract

The basic laws of Mendelian genetics tell us that an equal genetic contribution is inherited from each parent and that these inherited genes function equally in the offspring. Studies in the mouse, however, have shown that for some genes this is not the case, and the finding that parental genomes were not functionally equivalent has established the study of parental imprinting as one of the most exciting areas of genetic regulation at this time.
