genomic imprinting
Definition
- Genomic imprinting is an important process that occurs in some genes in the human genome wherein a gene is differentially expressed depending on whether it has been received from one's mother or one's father. Such “parent of origin” effects are only known to occur in sexually reproducing placental mammals. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Genomic Imprinting]
