Hybrid dysgenesis in <i>Drosophila simulans</i> associated with a rapid invasion of the <i>P</i> -element

2015-11-14

Abstract excerpt

In a classic example of the invasion of a species by a selfish genetic element, the P- element was horizontally transferred from a distantly related species into Drosophila melanogaster . Despite causing ‘hybrid dysgenesis’, a syndrome of abnormal phenotypes that include sterility, the P- element spread globally in the course of a few decades in D. melanogaster . Until recently, its sister species, including...
