Lack of paternal silencing and ecotype-specific expression in head and body lice hybrids

2023-05-09

Abstract excerpt

Paternal genome elimination (PGE) is a non-Mendelian inheritance system in which males develop from fertilised eggs but their paternally-inherited chromosomes are eliminated before or during spermatogenesis. Therefore, PGE males only transmit their maternally inherited set of chromosomes to their offspring. PGE has been described in numerous arthropod species, many of which are pests or parasites, posing a severe...
