Sexually reproducing eukaryotes use recombination between homologous chromosomes to
promote chromosome segregation during meiosis. Meiotic recombination is almost …

In this review, we examine the fungal spore killers. These are meiotic drive elements that
cheat during sexual reproduction to increase their transmission into the next generation …

Hybrid sterility restricts the utilization of superior heterosis of indica-japonica inter-
subspecific hybrids. In this study, we report the identification of RHS12, a major locus …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that infect arthropod species worldwide and are
deployed in vector control to curb arboviral spread using cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI …

There is great interest in being able to spread beneficial traits throughout wild populations in
ways that are self-sustaining. Here, we describe a chromosomal selfish genetic element …

Selfish genetic elements are pervasive in eukaryote genomes, but their role remains
controversial. We show that qHMS7, a major quantitative genetic locus for hybrid male …

Automated function prediction (AFP) of proteins is of great significance in biology. AFP can
be regarded as a problem of the large-scale multi-label classification where a protein can be …

Sex chromosomes are susceptible to the evolution of selfish meiotic drive elements that bias
transmission and distort progeny sex ratios. Conflict between such sex-ratio drivers and the …

Meiotic drivers are selfish elements that bias their own transmission into more than half of
the viable progeny produced by a driver+/driver− heterozygote. Meiotic drivers are thought …

Stalk-eyed flies in the genus Teleopsis carry selfish genetic elements that induce sex ratio
(SR) meiotic drive and impact the fitness of male and female carriers. Here, we assemble …
