Out with the old, in with the new: Meiotic driving of sex chromosome evolution
CM Swanepoel, JL Mueller - Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2024 - Elsevier
Chromosomal regions with meiotic drivers exhibit biased transmission (> 50%) over their
competing homologous chromosomal region. These regions often have two prominent …

G Oberhofer, ML Johnson, T Ivy, I Antoshechkin… - bioRxiv, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Gene drive elements promote the spread of linked traits, even when their presence confers a
fitness cost to carriers, and can be used to change the composition or fate of wild …

[HTML][HTML] Meiotic drive, postzygotic isolation, and the Snowball Effect
RL Unckless - bioRxiv, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
As populations diverge, they accumulate incompatibilities which reduce gene flow and
facilitate the formation of new species. Simple models suggest that the genes that cause …
