In growth and development genomic imprinting is important in regulating gene expression. Here, the authors study loss of imprinting (LOI) in cancer, developing a mixture model to detect monoallelically expressed loci without genotyping data - applying this novel methodology to TCGA breast cancer data they find massive deregulation of imprinting.
