Parent of origin gene expression in the bumblebee, <i>Bombus terrestris</i> , supports Haig’s kinship theory for the evolution of genomic imprinting

2020-01-17

Abstract excerpt

Genomic imprinting is the differential expression of alleles in diploid individuals, with the expression being dependent upon the sex of the parent from which it was inherited. Haig’s kinship theory hypothesizes that genomic imprinting is due to an evolutionary conflict of interest between alleles from the mother and father. In social insects, it has been suggested that genomic imprinting should be widespread. One...
