Patten Lab

We are Paranoid Darwinians in the Patten Lab. We think genes have agendas and we model the evolutionary process with this in mind.

Biased X shutoff
due to sex antagony?
Likely not, alas

Genomic imprinting in outcrossing A. lyrata! Finally somebody looked where parental conflict really matters. Great! https://t.co/cGbcE2csu2

@Lord_of_Flyz Hickey (1982) https://t.co/qGS5TQv0Ow

[Patten Lab @PattenLab]

@richmeisel @Lord_of_Flyz It's a hypothetical a la DA Hickey's idea: genes for sex in TEs. I admit it'd be one hell of a gene.

[Patten Lab @PattenLab]

@Lord_of_Flyz Asymmetric meiosis makes sense (and spreads) if you are the allele that hogs the cytoplasm. Paranoid Darwinian explanation.
