Epigenetics. A new whiff of monoallelic expression

Curr Biol. 1995 Jan 1;5(1):21-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(95)00007-8.

Abstract

Odorant receptor genes reveal a new case of monoallelic expression: just one allele of one of the large number of receptor genes appears to be transcribed in a given sensory neuron.
