Voorbeelden van imprinting

• It is possible that these elements may be important for imprinting control.

• But there is another possible starting point, hinted at by the phenomenon of molecular imprinting.

• This produced low levels of imprinting that were allowed to evolve as the target accelerates.

• Or, if we hypothesize genomic imprinting, why should evolution select the inactivation of genes favoring pathogen resistance and developmental precision?

• In a broader sense, mammalian-infant attachment, unlike imprinting in birds, is not a singular, instantaneous event.

• Imprinting has never been reported in aphids, perhaps because it has never been investigated thoroughly.

• The stages during germ cell differentiation, fertilisation and embryonic development during which erasure, establishment and maintenance of imprinting occur are shown.

• A further approach to the identification of candidate genes is through the phenotypic characterization of the imprinting effects.
