Selective abortion and the evolution of genomic imprinting.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2009

Wolf J B, Hager R

Abstract excerpt

Mothers can determine which genotypes of offspring they will produce through selective abortion or selective implantation. This process can, at some loci, favour matching between maternal and offspring genotype whereas at other loci mismatching may be favoured (e.g. MHC, HLA). Genomic imprinting generally renders gene expression monoallelic and could thus be adaptive at loci where matching or mismatching is...
