Abstract excerpt
Mendelian genetics posits equal transmission of alleles, but selfish alleles can bias the transmission of large genomic regions or entire chromosomes. One long-standing question is how transmission bias evolves to encompass large genomic regions. Mus musculus (house mouse) t-haplotypes exhibit up to 99% transmission bias from heterozygous males and harbor selfish alleles genetically linked to large inversions...
