Genes that bias Mendelian segregation.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2014

Grognet Pierre, Lalucque Hervé, Malagnac Fabienne, Silar Philippe

Abstract excerpt

Mendel laws of inheritance can be cheated by Meiotic Drive Elements (MDs), complex nuclear genetic loci found in various eukaryotic genomes and distorting segregation in their favor. Here, we identify and characterize in the model fungus Podospora anserina Spok1 and Spok2, two MDs known as Spore Killers. We show that they are related genes with both spore-killing distorter and spore-protecting responder...
