Kin selection, genomics and caste-antagonistic pleiotropy.

Biology letters - 1 Jan 2013

Hall David W, Yi Soojin V, Goodisman Michael A D

Abstract excerpt

Kin selection is a fundamentally important process that affects the evolution of social behaviours. The genomics revolution now provides the opportunity to test kin selection theory using genomic data. In this commentary, we discuss previous studies that explored the link between kin selection and patterns of variation within the genome. We then present a new theory aimed at understanding the evolution of genes...
