Post-fertilization transcription initiation in an ancestral LTR retrotransposon drives lineage-specific genomic imprinting of ZDBF2

Hisato Kobayashi, Tatsushi Igaki, Soichiro Kumamoto…·Kazuki Kurimoto

The paper shows that an ancestral LTR retrotransposon insertion in the common ancestor of Euarchontoglires drives lineage-specific genomic imprinting of ZDBF2 through post-fertilization transcription initiation.

Evolution of imprinting via lineage-specific insertion of retroviral promoters

Aaron Bogutz, Julie Brind’Amour, Hisato Kobayashi…·Louis Lefebvre

The paper shows that lineage-specific retroviral promoters drive the evolution of maternal imprinting by establishing DNA methylation at imprinted genes in mice and humans.
