High diversity due to balancing selection in the promoter region of the Medea gene in Arabidopsis lyrata.

Current biology : CB - 6 Nov 2007

Kawabe Akira, Fujimoto Ryo, Charlesworth Deborah

Abstract excerpt

Molecular imprinting is the differential expression and/or silencing of alleles according to their parent of origin [1, 2]. Conflicts between parents, or parents and offspring, should cause "arms races," with accelerated evolution of the genes involved in imprinting. This should be detectable in the evolution of imprinting genes' protein sequences and in the promoter regions of imprinted genes. Previous studies,...
