Abstract

A number of genes in the mouse are imprinted, that is only the paternal or maternal gene is effective. Many of these imprinted genes occur together on the chromosome, that is they are clustered. We are interested in understanding how these genes in clusters are regulated, and particularly how it may involve chromatin and its modifications. A particular example, in which a gene sequence that does not code for a protein might be involved in setting up particular chromatin structures, is being investigated.
