Certain genetic mutations can have different outcomes depending on whether one inherits from their mother or their father. This phenomenon is known as parent-of-origin effects (POEs), where certain genes are switched on or off depending on their parental source. While scientists have been aware of this behavior for some time, little is known about the genetic traits of POEs, primarily due to the unavailability of parental genetic data.
New statistical tool identifies parent-of-origin effects in genes without any parental data
