Abstract excerpt

Killer meiotic drivers are a class of selfish genetic elements that bias inheritance in their favor by destroying meiotic progeny that do not carry them. How killer meiotic drivers evolve is not well understood. In the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the largest gene family, known as the wtf genes, is a killer meiotic driver family that causes intraspecific hybrid sterility. Here, we investigate how wtf...
