Genomic imprinting and kinship: how good is the evidence?

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2004

Haig David

Abstract excerpt

The kinship theory of genomic imprinting proposes that parent-specific gene expression evolves at a locus because a gene's level of expression in one individual has fitness effects on other individuals who have different probabilities of carrying the maternal and paternal alleles of the individual in which the gene is expressed. Therefore, natural selection favors different levels of expression depending on an...
