Genomic imprinting and conflict-induced decanalization.
Genomic imprinting is the phenomenon in which the expression pattern of an allele depends on its parental origin. When maternally expressed and paternally expressed imprinted loci affect the same trait, the result is an arms race, with each locus under selection to increase its level of expression. This article develops a model of the deleterious consequences of this escalation, deriving from a...
متن کاملGenomic imprinting: Seeds of conflict
In Greek mythology, Medea betrays her homeland to assist her lover, the adventurer Jason, to obtain the Golden fleece. In exile she bears him two children, but later discovers that Jason plans to marry the King of Corynth’s daughter, so that their future children will become heirs to the throne. Seeking revenge, Medea poisons the bride and slaughters her children, leaving Jason with no chances ...
متن کاملGenomic Imprinting of Grb10 : Coadaptation or Conflict?
Mammalian development involves significant interactions between offspring and mother. But is this interaction a carefully coordinated effort by two individuals with a common goal--offspring survival? Or is it an evolutionary battleground (a central idea in our understanding of reproduction). The conflict between parents and offspring extends to an offspring's genes, where paternally inherited g...
متن کاملGenomic imprinting and methylation: epigenetic canalization and conflict.
Imprinted genes have patterns of expression that depend on the parent of origin of their alleles. Establishment of imprinting at a locus requires that the two alleles be differentially marked in oogenesis and spermatogenesis, that these marks escape reprogramming after fertilization, and that they are reliably transmitted through development. Recent work on the mammalian DNA methyltransferases ...
متن کاملMaternal-fetal conflict, genomic imprinting and mammalian vulnerabilities to cancer.
Antagonistic coevolution between maternal and fetal genes, and between maternally and paternally derived genes may have increased mammalian vulnerability to cancer. Placental trophoblast has evolved to invade maternal tissues and evade structural and immunological constraints on its invasion. These adaptations can be co-opted by cancer in intrasomatic selection. Imprinted genes of maternal and ...
