Genomic Imprinting | Vibepedia

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that affects gene expression based on parental origin, with around 260 imprinted genes reported in mice and 228 in humans. This phenomenon is independent of classical Mendelian inheritance and involves DNA methylation and histone methylation. Genomic imprinting has been observed in fungi, plants, and animals, including [[mice|Mice]] and [[humans|Humans]].
