The imprinted H19 gene is hypomethylated on the active maternal allele and hypermethylated on the repressed paternal allele in the somatic tissues of mice and humans. We previously demonstrated that the paternal-specific methylation of a 2 kb region located between ฯช2 and ฯช4 kb relative to the start
Allele specific timing of replication is believed to be a hallmark of imprinted genes, however recent evidence suggests that this might not be the case for the insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) and H19 locus. In this report, we assayed the timing of replication of Igf2 and H19 in two mouse embryon
