The Role of Imprinted Genes in Fetal Growth Abnormalities

[Review of ]. BIRTH DEFECTS RESEARCH PART A-CLINICAL AND MOLECULAR TERATOLOGY, 91(8), 682–692.

By: J. Piedrahita n

MeSH headings : Animals; Epigenesis, Genetic; Female; Fetal Development; Fetus / abnormalities; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Genomic Imprinting / genetics; Humans; Pregnancy; Pregnancy Complications / genetics
TL;DR: Imprinting-associated disorders in humans and assisted reproductive technologies in animals have been shown to affect the epigenome of the early embryo and the expression of imprinted genes, and their role in disorders such as intrauterine growth restriction appears to be more complex.

Spatial dependence, dispersion, and sequential sampling of Anaphothrips obscurus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in timothy

Environ. Entomol, 40(3), 689–696.

By: D. Reisig n , L. Godfrey* & D. Marcum
