متن کاملThe evolution of genomic imprinting.
In some mammalian genes, the paternally and maternally derived alleles are expressed differently: this phenomenon is called genomic imprinting. Here we study the evolution of imprinting using multivariate quantitative genetic models to examine the feasibility of the genetic conflict hypothesis. This hypothesis explains the observed imprinting patterns as an evolutionary outcome of the conflict ...
متن کاملThe evolution of genomic imprinting.
We explore three possible pathways for the evolution of genomic imprinting. (1) Imprinting may be advantageous in itself when imprinted and unimprinted alleles of a locus confer different phenotypes. If a segment of DNA is imprinted in the gametes of one sex but not in those of the other, it might lead to effects correlated with sexual dimorphism. More fundamentally, in certain organisms, sex d...
متن کاملPhysiological tradeoffs may underlie the evolution of hypoxia tolerance and exercise performance in sunfish (Centrarchidae).
Tradeoffs between hypoxia tolerance and aerobic exercise performance appear to exist in some fish taxa, even though both of these traits are often associated with a high O2 transport capacity. We examined the physiological basis for this potential tradeoff in four species of sunfish from the family Centrarchidae. Hypoxia tolerance was greatest in rock bass, intermediate in pumpkinseed and blueg...
متن کاملIntracellular Trafficking Defect May Underlie Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia has a strong genetic basis, although no single mutation causes the disease. Variations in the noncoding regions of DTNBP1, which encodes dysbindin, are associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia, and dysbindin expression is reduced in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of schizophrenics. Dysbindin is part of a large endosomal protein complex called the “biogenesis of lysoso...
