… In an independent study, Du and co-workers at the National Institute of Biological Sciences in
Beijing – including Wen Hu as first author – identified two other genes from the wtf gene family …

… Abstract Spore killers in fungi are selfish genetic elements that distort Mendelian … Both
killers belong to the previously uncharacterized wtf gene family with 25 members in the reference …

… It is not surprising therefore, that Mendel hints at the existence of such components in the
germ cells. However, it is important to remember that he was first and foremost an empiricist, …

… Within this region, they found a selfish-driver gene called wtf4 – a member of a large and
cheekily-named gene family – which creates both a poison and an antidote. … By …

The gene names in the example of the two-gene model provided on panel B of Figure 1 were
incorrectly spelled and abbreviated. We have corrected this error by replacing the sentence…

… Mendel laws of inheritance can be cheated by Meiotic Drive Elements (MDs), complex nuclear
