  2. 1. CTCF and Epigenetic Regulation of the H19/Igf2 Locus

    Author : Vinod Pant; Rolf Ohlsson; Rainer Reinkawitz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Imprinting; Chromatin; H19; Igf2; CTCF; Insulator; methylation; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : An overall coordination between the expressions of genes is required for the proper development of an individual. Although most genes are expressed from both the constituent alleles of the genome, a small subset of autosomal genes are preferentially expressed from only one of the parental alleles, a phenomenon known as genomic imprinting.

  4. 2. Epigenetic Regulation and Reprogramming of the H19 Imprinting Control Region

    Author : Piero Mariano; Rolf Ohlsson; Karl Ekwall; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Imprinting; chromatin; H19; Igf2; CTCF; Insulator; methylation; Boris; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : The development of a new individual from the fertilized oocyte can ultimately be seen as the consequence of the establishment and maintenance of specific patterns of gene expression. Although regulation of gene activity occurs at different levels, cellular specialization and differentiation are the results of developmental cues that essentially take place at the transcriptional level.

    Abstract : Today, the traditional insulator materials for high voltage powerlines, i.e. glass and porcelain, are gradually being replaced with new materials, most notably silicone rubber. READ MORE

  6. 4. Epigenetic Regulation of Replication Timing and Signal Transduction

    Abstract : Upon fertilization the paternal and maternal genomes unite, giving rise to the embryo, with its unique genetic code. All cells in the human body are derived from the fertilized ovum: hence they all contain (with a few exceptions) the same genetic composition. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Functional Significance and Chromatin Organisation of the Imprinting Control Regions of the H19 and Kcnq1 Genes

    Author : Meena Kanduri; Rolf Ohlsson; Karl Ekwall; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; DNA methylation; Imprinting control region; Chromatin; Insulator; Nucleosome positioning; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : Genomic imprinting is a phenomenon through which a subset of genes are epigenetically marked during gemtogenisis. This mark is maintained in the soma to often manifest parent of origin-specific monoalleleic expresson patterns. READ MORE
