The elongation of Mest transcript into MestXL sustains, but does not initiate, the maternal allele bias of its convergent gene Copg2 during neurogenesis

Abstract Precise gene dosage control is critical for cellular identity and development, particularly for imprinted genes, where dosage imbalances are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. The Mest/Copg2 imprinted locus exemplifies this fine-tuned regulation: while Mest is const...
