Investigation of candidate imprinted tumour suppressor genes

Imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that silences one allele of a gene, so that expression in one or more cell types is exclusively monoallelic, and dependent on parental origin. Approaches used to identify novel imprinted genes rely on characteristic features such as the clustering of imprinted genes, or their association with differentially methylated CpG islands.
