Imprinted Genes in Neuroscience 101 w/ Amanda Whipple

Amanda Whipple is Assistant Professor of Molecular & Cellular Biology at Harvard University.
In this seminar, Dr. Whipple examines ‘imprinted’ genes in which the two parental copies are deferentially expressed in offspring. After reviewing the basics of genomic imprinting, she shares her lab's current work investigating imprinted genes in the brain and applications toward neurodevelopmental disorders like Angelman syndrome.
