The Genetic Basis of Kin Recognition in a Cooperatively Breeding Mammal.

Current biology : CB - 19 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

Cooperation between relatives yields important fitness benefits, but genetic loci that allow recognition of unfamiliar kin have proven elusive. Sharing of kinship markers must correlate strongly with genome-wide similarity, creating a special challenge to identify specific loci used independently of other shared loci. Two highly polymorphic gene complexes, detected through scent, have been implicated in...
