The development of all the mammalian species begins from fertilization of a sperm and an egg into a diploid state. The maternal and paternal genomes are not functionally equivalent in term of their differential contributions to the imprinting gene expressions, and they are complementary and both essential for embryonic and postnatal development (McGrath and Solter, 1984; Surani et al., 1986).
