• Surani co-discovered mammalian genomic imprinting with Davor Solter in 1984, and subsequently examined its mechanism and the functions of imprinted genes. (wikipedia.org)

  • We suggested that the genome undergoes specific imprinting during gametogenesis 3 and that some paternal genes may be necessary for normal development of the extraembryonic tissues 3,4 , in which only the maternal X chromosome remains active 5-9 . (nature.com)
