A Vertebrate Toxin-Antidote System That Sabotages Mouse Embryogenesis

2026-03-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Toxin-antidote (TA) systems are selfish genetic elements that bias their own inheritance by coupling a toxin that kills offspring with an antidote that specifically rescues carriers. Although widespread across bacteria, archaea, fungi, plants, and invertebrates, TA systems have not been described in vertebrates. Here we report the first vertebrate TA system, which sabotages mammalian embryogenesi...
