Deregulation of Y-linked protamine-like genes in sex chromosome-biased spermatid demise

2022-12-05

Abstract excerpt

Meiotic drive is a phenomenon wherein a genetic element achieves a higher rate of transmission than dictated by Mendelian segregation ( 1-3 ). One proposed mechanism for meiotic drivers to achieve biased transmission is by sabotaging essential processes of gametogenesis (e.g. spermatogenesis), leading to demise of gametes that contain their opponents ( 1 ). Studies in D. simulans have recently found that a set...
