Table of Contents:
- Contents: How, when and why did epigenetic silencing evolve in mammals?
- examination of two mammal-specific systems, genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation, from an evolutionary standpoint, using comparisons between humans, distantly related mammals (marsupials and monotremes) and other vertebrates
- independent evolution of imprinting in different genomic regions and correlation with evolution of viviparity
- step-wise evolution of the elements of the complex X-chromosome inactivation mechanism
- shared features of imprinting and X-inactivation.
