Uncoupling Antisense-Mediated Silencing and DNA Methylation in the Imprinted Gnas Cluster

There is increasing evidence that non-coding macroRNAs are major elements for silencing imprinted genes, but their mechanism of action is poorly understood. Within the imprinted Gnas cluster on mouse chromosome 2, Nespas is a paternally expressed macroRNA that arises from an imprinting control regio...
