The Differentially Methylated Region (DMR) is Associated with Which of the Following

Question

The differentially methylated region (DMR) is associated with which of the following?
A) X-inactivation
B) Genomic imprinting
C) Maternal inheritance
D) Extra nuclear inheritance
E) All of the answers are correct

Accepted Answer

DMRs are regions of DNA that display differential methylation patterns between individuals or tissues. DMRs are typically involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression and are often associated with genomic imprinting, where the expression of a gene depends on its paternal or maternal origin. Therefore, option B is the best choice as DMRs are typically associated with genomic imprinting.
