Local inversion heterozygosity alters recombination throughout the genome
Crossovers (COs) are formed during meiosis by the repair of programmed DNA double-
strand breaks (DSBs) and are required for the proper segregation of chromosomes. More …

[HTML][HTML] New perspectives on the causes and consequences of male meiotic drive
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 …
