The genomes of eukaryotes are full of parasitic sequences known as transposable elements (TEs). Most TEs studied to date are relatively small (50 – 12000 bp), but can contribute to very large proporti
An endogenous meiotic driver in the dengue and yellow fever vector mosquito Aedes aegypti can cause highly male-biased sex ratio distortion in crosses from suitable genetic backgrounds. We previously
The Dox meiotic drive system distorts the sex-ratio in Drosophila simulans. Here, the authors reconstruct the step-wise emergence, and recent amplification of Dox superfamily genes in parallel with th
Although sex chromosome meiotic drive has been observed in a variety of species for over 50 years, the genes causing drive are only known in a few cases, and none of these cases cause distorted sex-ra
Raw data compiled from mating experiments conducted using wildtype (WT), heterozygous KO, and homozygous KO for each candidate gene, where accessible. From these data, broad comparisons of mean litter
