the kinship theory of genomic imprinting - Fischer Lab
... δai and δbj can be represented by a differentiable function of the total level of gene expression X. Then the kinship theory predicts that the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) at the locus will be either ‘symmetric’ or ‘asymmetric’ (21). A symmetric ESS occurs when maternally derived and paterna ...
