Differences between homologous alleles of olfactory receptor genes require the Polycomb Group protein Eed

Anumber of mammalian genes are expressed from only one of the two homologous chromosomes, selected at random in each cell. These include genes subject to X-inactivation, olfactory receptor (OR) genes, and several classes of immune system genes. The means by which monoallelic expression is establishe...
