The impact of endosymbionts on the evolution of host sex-determination mechanisms.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Aug 2011

Cordaux Richard, Bouchon Didier, Grève Pierre

Abstract excerpt

The past years have revealed that inherited bacterial endosymbionts are important sources of evolutionary novelty for their eukaryotic hosts. In this review we discuss a fundamental biological process of eukaryotes influenced by bacterial endosymbionts: the mechanisms of sex determination. Because they are maternally inherited, several endosymbionts of arthropods, known as reproductive parasites, have developed...
