A MODEL FOR GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN THE SOCIAL BRAIN: ELDERS

2011-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Genomic imprinting refers to the process whereby genes are silenced when inherited via sperm or egg. The most widely accepted theory for the evolution of genomic imprinting—the kinship theory—argues that conflict between maternally inherited and paternally inherited genes over phenotypes with asymmetric effects on matrilineal and patrilineal kin results in self-imposed silencing of one of the copies. This theory w...
