  • Notes: In this review, we summarize what we know about the patterns of paternal chromosome elimination during various stages of development in the diverse taxa that have been studied. We also discuss some other unusual features often associated with PGE. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the parent-of-origin-dependent chromosome elimination and silencing under PGE, but we discuss the insight of several studies that are pioneering this work and highlight directions for future research.
