Some genes just hang in closet, affecting health
Charleston Gazette ; WASHINGTON - Remember biology class where you learned that children inherit one copy of a gene from Mom and a second from Dad?

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