X Abstract

Experimental and computer-assisted approaches have led to the identification of hundreds of imprinted small RNA genes, mainly clustered in two chromosomal domains (human 15q11-->q13 and 14q32 loci). The genes are only detected in placental mammals and belong to the C/D RNA and microRNA gene families. These are small non-coding RNAs involved in RNA-guided post-transcriptional RNA modifications and RNA-mediated gene silencing, respectively. Here, we discuss their potential functions and report the identification of novel small RNA genes lying within (or nearby) known imprinted chromosomal domains.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
