Genomic imprinting involves the silencing or activation of a gene depending on whether it was inherited from the mother or father. In this way, the same allele can have a different effect (imprinted or not imprinted) depending on its parent of origin. This phenomenon is most commonly observed in mammals and is mediated by epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation.
