Sex-specific allelic transmission bias suggests sexual conflict at MC1R.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2016

Ducret Valérie, Gaigher Arnaud, Simon Céline, Goudet Jérôme, Roulin Alexandre

Abstract excerpt

Sexual conflict arises when selection in one sex causes the displacement of the other sex from its phenotypic optimum, leading to an inevitable tension within the genome - called intralocus sexual conflict. Although the autosomal melanocortin-1-receptor gene (MC1R) can generate colour variation in sexually dichromatic species, most previous studies have not considered the possibility that MC1R may be subject to...
