Abstract excerpt
Meiotic drivers are selfish genetic elements that manipulate meiosis to increase their transmission to the next generation to the detriment of the rest of the genome. One example is the t haplotype in house mice, which is a naturally occurring meiotic driver with deleterious traits-poor fitness in polyandrous matings and homozygote inviability or infertility-that prevent its fixation. Recently, we discovered and...
