The impacts of cytoplasmic incompatibility factor (cifA and cifB) genetic variation on phenotypes.

Genetics - 3 Mar 2021

Shropshire J Dylan, Rosenberg Rachel, Bordenstein Seth R

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are maternally transmitted, intracellular bacteria that can often selfishly spread through arthropod populations via cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI manifests as embryonic death when males expressing prophage WO genes cifA and cifB mate with uninfected females or females harboring an incompatible Wolbachia strain. Females with a compatible cifA-expressing strain rescue CI. Thus, cif-mediated CI...
