growth and metabolism and confer disease susceptibility. Here, we designed sensitive allele-
specific reporters to non-invasively monitor imprinted Cdkn1c expression in mice and
showed that expression was modulated by environmental factors encountered in utero.
Acute exposure to chromatin-modifying drugs resulted in de-repression of paternally
inherited (silent) Cdkn1c alleles in embryos that was temporary and resolved after birth. In …
