Evolutionary Genetic Models of the Ovarian Time Bomb Hypothesis for the Evolution of Genomic Imprinting

At a small number of loci in eutherian mammals, only one of the two copies of a gene is expressed; the other is silenced. Such loci are said to be "imprinted," with some having the maternally inherited allele inactivated and others showing paternal inactivation. Several hypotheses have bee...
