The effects of selection and genetic drift on the genomic distribution of sexually antagonistic alleles.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

Sexual antagonism (SA) occurs when an allele that is beneficial to one sex, is detrimental to the other. This conflict can result in balancing, directional, or disruptive selection acting on SA alleles. A body of theory predicts the conditions under which sexually antagonistic mutants will invade and be maintained in stable polymorphism under balancing selection. There remains, however, considerable debate over...
