The young are imprinted, meaning they will follow their mother anywhere, but they still exhibited some reluctance to jump off the cliff.
However, a small number of genes are imprinted, meaning that gene expression results from only a single allele because the allele transmitted from either the mother or the father is silenced.
The insulin gene is "imprinted" prenatally, meaning only one copy is active in the fetus.
Although IGF2 is an imprinted gene, meaning that only one allele is usually expressed, there are no consistent findings to support the hypothesis that loss of imprinting of IGF2 is associated with an increased risk of childhood ALL [ 6].
Apparently, the word "yurt" is derived from an old Turkish term meaning the imprint or impression left in the ground by a tented structure that is no longer there.
Assuming the merger unfolds in the usual manner, the company will announce layoffs due to "redundancies," meaning fewer imprints with fewer editors looking for the next Donal Ryan.
The monoallelic expression starts from the 4 (SNRPN) and 8 (IGF2) cell stage, meaning that the primary imprints laid down during oogenesis and spermatogenesis are resistant to active and passive demethylation during the cleavage divisions.
The book was selected as the lead title for Doubleday's Currency imprint, its business book division, for winter 2004, meaning that it will get an additional marketing push.
Biologists call this gene imprinting an epigenetic, or "on-genetic," effect, meaning that it changes the behavior of the gene without altering its chemical composition.
When stratifying embryos by side of cross, we found that nearly all imprinted genes showed very strong allelic bias, meaning that the epigenetically silenced allele is expressed at only low levels across the embryo.
