Abstract excerpt

Transmission distortion is identified as a difference in transmission frequency of two alleles from the normal 1:1 Mendelian segregation in diploid organisms. Transmission distortion can extend over part or all of a chromosome. The recent development of interspecific mouse backcrosses has provide...
