   Abstract : This study was conducted at the University of Bath, UK, from September to December 2014 as part of an ongoing research project aimed at elucidating how the Grb10 gene might act as a mediator of long-term health effects (such as predisposition to obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension) caused by environmental factors during development. This phenomenon is known as developmental programming. READ MORE

3. 2. Importance of epigenetics in animal breeding : genomic imprinting

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Author : Dijana Zeric; [2012]
   Keywords : Epigenetics; Genomic Imprinting; X-linked QTL; IGF2;

   Abstract : ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to give an overview of the evidence for genomic imprinting in livestock and other mammals as well as outline the potential use of gene imprinting in livestock breeding. Epigenetics is the mitotical and meiotical partial hereditary variation in genomic activity without any alterations of the DNA sequence. READ MORE
