DNA sequencing of drive and standard Teleopsis dalmanni males

Sex-linked meiotic drivers limit the inheritance of the alternate sex chromosome in the heterogametic sex, subsequently skewing the ratio of males to females in the offspring. They consequently have large impacts on genome evolution, adaptation, and the emergence and maintenance of sexually selected traits. Detecting the molecular basis of meiotic drive is complex. It is affected by both the common occurrence of inversions housing a driver as well as the transcriptomic and cell type heterogeneity of the gonads. Herein, we utilise DNA-Seq to investigate the genetic basis of a sex-linked meiotic driver in the Malaysian stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni. These data are generated from wild adult flies from the Gombak District of Malaysia.
