Definition:
OBSOLETE. An epigenetic mechanism of regulation of gene expression in which epigenetic modifications (imprints) are established during gametogenesis. For a given gene to show parentally biased expression, the imprint are established exclusively in one of the two parental genomes, thus generating an asymmetry between the maternal and paternal alleles.
Comment:
This term was obsoleted because it represents the same concept as its parent, GO:0071514 genomic imprinting, also a regulatory process.
