Mutation-selection balance at a modifier-of-imprinting locus.

Abstract excerpt

We propose a pair of population genetic models for a modifier-of-imprinting locus for which different genotypes imprint different proportions of an imprintable target locus in their gametes. The two models examine the situations in which imprinting is advantageous, and we discuss three cases for which the modifier is respectively partially dominant, dominant, or recessive. The models predict the stable...
