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

Genetics - 1 Sept 1996

Spencer H G, Barnett J A

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...
