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

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

The imprinted gene ZDBF2 is regulated through a unique mechanism involving a transient paternal transcript in early embryos, rather than persistent gametic DNA methylation. In humans and mice, this transcript—CMKLR2-AS (also known as GPR1-AS) or the long isoform of Zdbf2 (Liz/Zdbf2linc/Platr12)—aris...
