Spore killers in fungi are selfish genetic elements that distort Mendelian segregation in their
favor. It remains unclear how many species harbor them and how diverse their mechanisms …

Spore killers are specific genetic elements in fungi that kill sexual spores that do not contain
them. A range of studies in the last few years have provided the long-awaited first insights …

Meiotic drivers are selfish alleles that subvert gametogenesis to increase their transmission
into progeny. Drivers impose a fitness cost, putting pressure on the genome to evolve …

Meiotic drivers are selfish genes that bias their transmission into gametes, defying
Mendelian inheritance. Despite the significant impact of these genomic parasites on …

Mendel laws of inheritance can be cheated by Meiotic Drive Elements (MDs), complex
nuclear genetic loci found in various eukaryotic genomes and distorting segregation in their …

Killer meiotic drivers are genetic parasites that destroy 'sibling'gametes lacking the driver
allele. The fitness costs of drive can lead to selection of unlinked suppressors. This …

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 …

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 …

Meiotic drivers bias gametogenesis to ensure their transmission into more than half the
offspring of a heterozygote. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, wtf meiotic drivers destroy the …

Meiotic drivers are parasitic loci that force their own transmission into greater than half of the
offspring of a heterozygote. Many drivers have been identified, but their molecular …
