Summary Introduction
To define:
The genomic imprinting
Introduction:
The expression of the genes is influenced by many factors such as the genetic factors, environmental factors, and the epigenetic factors. The epigenetics refers to the changes occurring in the genome, which are not the resultant of the modification of the genome. The epigenetic changes alter the expression and activity of the gene and are above the level of genetics. Genomic imprinting is one of the epigenetic mechanisms.
