Analysis of the platypus genome suggests a transposon origin for mammalian imprinting

BACKGROUND: Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that results in monoallelic gene expression. Many hypotheses have been advanced to explain why genomic imprinting evolved in mammals, but few have examined how it arose. The host defence hypothesis suggests that imprinting evolved from exist...
