Large neurological component to genetic differences underlying biased sperm use in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

Sperm competition arises as a result of complex interactions among male and female factors. While the roles of some male factors are known, little is known of the molecules or mechanisms that underlie the female contribution to sperm competition. The genetic tools available for Drosophila allow us to identify, in an unbiased manner, candidate female genes that are critical for mediating sperm competition...
