<i>Overdrive</i> is essential for targeted sperm elimination by <i>Segregation Distorter</i>

2024-06-06

Abstract excerpt

Intra-genomic conflict driven by selfish chromosomes is a powerful force that shapes the evolution of genomes and species. In the male germline, many selfish chromosomes bias transmission in their own favor by eliminating spermatids bearing the competing homologous chromosomes. However, the mechanisms of targeted gamete elimination remain mysterious. Here, we show that Overdrive (Ovd) , a gene required for both s...
