Evidence from disorders of genomic imprinting suggests that maternal and paternal genes may skirmish over the pace of human development.
Researchers from around the world in genomics, microbiology, biostatistics, public health, and other fields discuss such topics as human telomere structure and biology, infectious disease, ENU mutagenesis, the role of enzymes in genetic diseases, linkage disequilibrium and association mapping, legal, ethical, and social issues in genetic testing, DNA sequencing methods, genomic imprinting, and genetic predisposition to breast cancer.
Abnormalities in genomic imprinting could lead to abnormal gene [activation] in the brain--perhaps during critical stages of development--that could increase the risk for autism," he says.
