At Least Ten Genes Define the Imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 Cluster on Mouse Chromosome 12qF1
Figure 4
Meg3 is maternally expressed and highly expressed in the brain and testis.
(A) Alw26I restriction digests on RT-PCR products confirm that Meg3 is maternally expressed. For PCR, Meg3 267Up/578Dn primers were used. (B) Northern blots reveal that Meg3 is characterized by alternative splicing. In the adult mouse brain, the predominant band is roughly 2.4 kb in length while in testis is 6.5 kb.
