Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting (parent-of-origin-dependent gene regulation) is associated with intra-genomic evolutionary conflict over the optimal pattern of gene expression. Most theoretical models of imprinting focus on the conflict between the maternally and paternally derived alleles at an imprinted locus. Recently, however, more attention has been focused on multi-directional conflicts involving not only the imprinted...
