Abstract excerpt
The differential abundance of transcripts from alternative alleles of a gene, for example in a hybrid plant or an outbred natural population, can provide information about the nature of interindividual or interstrain variation in gene expression. Allele-specific expression (ASE) can result from epigenetic phenomena, such as imprinting (when the overexpressed allele is inherited consistently from one parent) or...
