Meiotic drivers are genetic variants that selfishly manipulate the production of gametes to
increase their own rate of transmission, often to the detriment of the rest of the genome and …

Meiotic drivers are selfish genetic elements that bias their transmission into gametes, often
to the detriment of the rest of the genome. The resulting intragenomic conflicts triggered by …

Scientists are rapidly develo** synthetic gene drive elements intended for release into
natural populations. These are intended to control or eradicate disease vectors and pests, or …

Gametogenesis is vulnerable to selfish genetic elements that bias their transmission to the
next generation by cheating meiosis. These so-called meiotic drivers are widespread in …

Mating systems have profound effects on genetic diversity and compatibility. The convergent
evolution of self-fertilization in three Caenorhabditis species provides a powerful lens to …

Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, satellite repeats are still one of the most
enigmatic parts of eukaryotic genomes. Being non-coding DNA, satellites were earlier …

Meiotic drive supergenes are complexes of alleles at linked loci that together subvert
Mendelian segregation resulting in preferential transmission. In males, the most common …

Mendel's Law of equal segregation states that each of the two alleles in a diploid organism
has an equal probability of being transmitted into... Meiotic drive occurs when a selfish …

Meiotic drive is widespread in nature. The conflict it generates is expected to be an important
motor for evolutionary change and innovation. In this study, we investigated the genomic …

Genes involved in immune defense against pathogens provide some of the most well-known
examples of both directional and balancing selection. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are …
