New statistical tool identifies parent-of-origin effects in genes without any parental data

by Sanjukta Mondal, Phys.org edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Parent-of-origin effects (POEs) occur when the impact of a genetic variant depends on whether it is inherited from the mother or father. Credit: https://www.publicdomainpictures.net Certain genetic mutations can have different outcomes depending on whether one inherits from their mother or their father. This phenomenon is known
