摘要
Experimental and computer-assisted approaches have led to the identification of hundreds of imprinted small RNA genes, mainly clustered in two chromosomal domains (human 15q1 1 -> q13 and 14q32 loci). The genes are only detected in placental mammals and belong to the C/D RNA and microRNA gene families. These are small non-coding RNAs involved in RNA-guided post-transcriptional RNA modifications and RNA-mediated gene silencing, respectively. Here, we discuss their potential functions and report the identification of novel small RNA genes lying within (or nearby) known imprinted chromosomal domains. Copyright (c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel.
