Extensive variation between tissues in allele specific expression in an outbred mammal

BMC Genomics

Table 5 Summary of classification of genes previously found to be imprinted in human and mice or cattle

Class	ASE	MAF >90 %	All tissues	Human & mouse	Cattle
Not Imprinted	No	No	Yes	14	0
Imprinted	Yes	Yes	Yes	2	2
Partially Imprinted	Yes	No	Yes	1	0
Tissue Specifically Imprinted	Yes	Yes	No	3	2
Tissue Specific Partially Imprinted	Yes	No	No	7	0
Total tested				27	4
Total imprinted				13	4

The number of genes classified as either not imprinted, imprinted, partially imprinted, tissue specifically imprinted or tissue specific partially imprinted. ASE defines whether the class of genes showed significant ASE, MAF >90 % defines if the major allele frequency was greater than 90 % and All tissues defines if the ASE result was observed across all tissue the gene was expressed in
