Evolution of dominance in gene expression pattern associated with phenotypic robustness.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mendelian inheritance is a fundamental law of genetics. When we consider two genomes in a diploid cell, a heterozygote's phenotype is dominated by a particular homozygote according to the law of dominance. Classical Mendelian dominance is concerned with which proteins are dominant, and is usually based on simple genotype-phenotype relationship in which one gene regulates one phenotype. However, in...
