IMBA 的 Burga 实验室发现了一种与线虫自私基因沉默相关的新型基因调控过程，这可能是印记进化的第一步。 IMBA's Burga Lab discovered a novel gene regulation process linked to selfish gene silencing in nematodes, potentially the first step in the evolution of imprinting.
IMBA 的 Burga 实验室发现了一种与自私基因沉默相关的新型基因调控过程，这可能是印记进化的第一步，印记是一种根据母系或父系遗传表达或沉默基因的机制。 The Burga Lab at IMBA discovered a novel gene regulation process linked to selfish gene silencing that could be the first step in the evolution of imprinting, a mechanism where genes are expressed or silenced based on maternal or paternal inheritance. 他们的发现发表在《自然》杂志上，揭示了印记最初是如何以及为何进化的，并且涉及在线虫中首次发现的亲本效应。 Their discovery, published in Nature, suggests how and why imprinting first evolved, and it involves the first identified parent-of-origin effect in nematodes.
