| Abstract | The preferential inactivation of the paternal X chromosome in extraembryonic cells during early mouse development is an example of parental imprinting, but it has not been studied at the transcriptional level because standard methods of measuring RNA levels do not allow detection of allele-specific RNAs in individual early embryos. We sought to determine whether the paternal allele of the X chromosome-linked gene for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (Pgk-1), which is located very near the center of X chromosome inactivation, is transcribed prior to differentiation of extraembryonic lineages. Previous reports indicated that in heterozygous embryos there is a delay in the appearance of the phosphoglycerate kinase 1 allozyme encoded by the paternal X chromosome until 2 days after the appearance of the corresponding maternal allozyme. We report results obtained by use of a reverse transcription/PCR-based method which allows the quantitative measurement of allele-specific RNA. The assay is sensitive enough for the quantitative analysis in single embryos of allele-specific transcripts differing by only one nucleotide. We have used this assay to analyze mouse embryos heterozygous at the Pgk-1 and Hprt [hypoxanthine (guanine) phosphoribosyltransferase] loci, and we find that individual 8-cell and blastocyst embryos express both Hprt and Pgk-1 paternal transcripts, as do pooled 2- to 4-cell embryos. These results are discussed in view of the apparent temporal delay in paternal expression of the Pgk-1 gene at the enzyme level. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
