Paramutation: From Maize to Mice
@article{Chandler2007ParamutationFM, title={Paramutation: From Maize to Mice}, author={V. Chandler}, journal={Cell}, year={2007}, volume={128}, pages={641-645} }
Paramutation is the epigenetic transfer of information from one allele of a gene to another to establish a state of gene expression that is heritable for generations. RNA has recently emerged as a prominent mediator of this remarkable phenomenon in both maize and mice.Â
