To put it simply, organisms inherit a copy of each gene from each parent. For a small group of genes, roughly one hundred, a copy from the father or the copy from the mother is the only one expressed.

For more than 20 years, DNA methylation has been the only known mechanism for regulating mammalian germline imprinting. Now, researchers at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital have ...

This week, when the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee considers approving the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for infants and toddlers, the issue of imprinting may not be on the ...
