Sex-ratio (SR) meiotic drivers are X-linked selfish genetic elements that promote their own
transmission by preventing the production of Y-bearing sperm, which usually lowers male …

Meiosis is a specialized cell division at the origin of the haploid cells that eventually develop
into the gametes. It therefore lies at the heart of Mendelian heredity. Recombination and …

X chromosome meiotic drive (XCMD) kills Y‐bearing sperm during spermatogenesis,
leading to the biased transmission of the selfish X chromosome. Despite this strong …

Sterility or subfertility of male hybrid offspring is commonly observed. This phenomenon
contributes to reproductive barriers between the parental populations, an early step in the …

Meiotic drivers are selfish alleles that can force their transmission into more than 50% of the
viable gametes made by heterozygotes. Meiotic drivers are known to cause infertility in a …

Meiotic drivers have been proposed as a potent evolutionary force underlying genetic and
phenotypic variation, genome structure, and also speciation. Due to their strong selective …

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that creates haploid germ cells and ensures
their genetic diversity through homologous recombination. We show that the H3K4me3 …

Eukaryotes with separate males and females display a great diversity in the way they
determine sex, but it is still unclear what evolutionary forces cause transitions between sex …

Selfish genes that bias their own transmission during meiosis can spread rapidly in
populations, even if they contribute negatively to the fitness of their host. Driving X …

Despite the universal requirement for faithful chromosome segregation, eukaryotic
centromeres are rapidly evolving. It is hypothesized that rapid centromere evolution …
