Genomic imprinting and parent-of-origin effects on complex traits

HA Lawson, JM Cheverud, JB Wolf - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2013 - nature.com
Parent-of-origin effects occur when the phenotypic effect of an allele depends on whether it
is inherited from the mother or the father. Several phenomena can cause parent-of-origin …
