Database Description

The database of imprinted genes and parent-of-origin effects in animals (http://www.otago.ac.nz/IGC) is a collation of genes and phenotypes for which parent-of-origin effects have been reported. The database currently includes over 260 entries, which describe over 40 imprinted genes in human, mouse and other animals. In addition a wide variety of other parent-of-origin effects, such as transmission of human disease phenotypes, transmission of QTLs, uniparental disomies, and interspecies crosses are recorded. Data is accessed through a search engine and references are hyperlinked to PubMed.
