What doesn’t kill them makes them stronger: An association between elongation factor 1-α overdominance in the sea star <i>Pisaster ochraceus</i> and "sea star wasting disease”

2016-01-13

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, a massive plague has killed millions of sea stars, of many different species, along the Pacific coast of North America. This disease, known as 'sea star wasting disease' (SSWD), is thought to be caused by viral infection. In the affected sea star Pisaster ochraceus , previous work had identified that the elongation factor 1-α (EF1A) locus harbored an intronic insertion allele that is lethal when...
