Abstract

Imprinting Control Regions (ICRs) are CpG-rich sequences acquiring differential methylation in the female and male germline and maintaining it in a parental origin-specific manner in somatic cells. Despite their expected high mutation rate due to spontaneous deamination of methylated cytosines, ICRs show conservation of CpG-richness and CpG-containing transcription factor binding sites in mammalian species. However, little is known about the mechanisms contributing to the maintenance of a high density of methyl CpGs at these loci.
