Imprinting
... Is the imprint erased during embryogenesis? • Evidence in support – Biallelic expression of imprinted genes occurs in primordial germ cells – Igf2r imprinting control region (ICR) is methylated in E8 embryos, but unmethylated E12.5 embryos – Dnmt1 is at high levels during Igf2r maternal imprint ...

Methylation of an upstream Alu sequence on the Imprinted H19
... Genomic imprinting involves “marking” parental alleles as either maternal or paternal. Such imprints are established during gamete production and involve differential DNA methylation. Unfortunately, however, the exact imprinting mechanism is unknown. DNA methylation is aided by the enzyme DNA methyl ...
