ABSTRACT

Genomic imprinting corresponds to the differential expression of a gene according to its paternal or maternal origin. The kinship theory of genomic imprinting proposes that maternally or paternally inherited genes may be in conflict over their effects on kin differently related along the paternal or maternal line. Most examples supporting the kinship theory of imprinting deal with competition between offspring for maternal resources. However, genomic imprinting may also explai...

Kin Recognition in Aleochara bilineata Could Support the Kinship Theory of Genomic Imprinting

Maternal Effects as the Cause of Parent-of-Origin Effects That Mimic Genomic Imprinting
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Epigenetic effects are increasingly recognized as an important source of variation in complex traits and have emerged as the focus of a rapidly expanding area of research. Principle among these effects is genomic imprinting, which has generally been examined in analyses of complex traits

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute ; That human beings are capable of two very different kinds of knowing - one rational, the other not - is an old and widespread idea. It is, for example, basic to such intellectual traditions as Buddhism and phenomenology, and is regularly defended by artists and some experimental psychologists. In

The role of relatedness and diet in kin recognition was investigated in the aphidophagous ladybirds Propylea dissecta and Coccinella transversalis. Third
A Chip off the Old Block: A Model for the Evolution of Genomic Imprinting via Selection for Parental Similarity
Genetics ; ABSTRACT A consequence of genomic imprinting is that offspring are more similar to one parent than to the other, depending on which parent's genes are inactivated in those offspring. We hypothesize that genomic imprinting may have evolved at some loci because of selection to be similar to the

Modifying Mendel one more time. (Biomedicine)
Science News ; Modifying Mendel one more time Even as geneticists adjust to the heretical concept of genomic imprinting (SN: 5/20/89, p.312), they confront yet another discovery that challenges classical Mendelian genetics. The genomic imprinting concept holds that while two genes may contain identical DNA
