The conflict theory of genomic imprinting: how much can be explained?

Current topics in developmental biology - 1 Jan 1998

Iwasa Y

Abstract excerpt

In some mammalian genes, paternally and maternally derived alleles are expressed differently: this phenomenon is called genomic imprinting. Several-explanations have been proposed for the observed patterns of genomic imprinting, but the most successful explanation is the genetic conflict hypothesis--natural selection operating on the gene expression produces the parental origin-dependent gene expression--because...
