Abstract:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon set in the gametes prior to fertilization that causes differential expression of parental alleles mainly in the endosperm of flowering plants. The overlap between previously identified panels of imprinted genes is limited. In order to achieve high resolution sequencing data we have used sequence capture technology to investigate imprinting. Here, we present a bioinformatics pipeline to assay parent-of-origin allele specific expression and report more than 300 loci… Show more
