RNA studies under fire

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

“In July 2010, a team led by Catherine Dulac and Christopher Gregg, both then at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, published a study in Science estimating that 1,300 mouse genes — an order of magnitude more than previously known — were imprinted.
