A new statistical method has been developed to identify parent-of-origin effects in genes without needing parental data, revealing that certain genes can have opposite effects depending on whether they are inherited from the mother or father, with implications for understanding genetic influences on traits and diseases.
The study explores the mechanism behind a parent-of-origin effect on gene expression in a hermaphroditic nematode, C. tropicalis, uncovering a selfish element, slow-1/grow-1, with a maternal-effect toxin and zygotically expressed antidotes. The study reveals that the paternal inheritance of slow-1/grow-1 leads to decreased SLOW-1 dosage, transgenerational repression, and targeting by the piRNA pathway, shedding light on the evolutionary origins of imprinting and the molecular mechanisms underlying parent-of-origin effects on gene expression.
Diablo 4 introduces a new game mechanic called imprinting and extracting, which allows players to customize their gear and give their character excellent buffs. Aspects can be extracted from any item and imprinted onto another one. Codex of Power is a permanent type of Aspect that adds fantastic passives to your character and can be used as many times as you want.
