Intra genomic genetic conflicts are ubiquitous in nature and have shaped and continue to shape the evolution of plants, animals, and microbes. These conflicts can result in preferential transmission – drive – of genes, various genetic elements, and even whole chromosomes. Interest in drive systems extends beyond the basic sciences to technologists who are exploring natural and synthetic drives as agents to suppress or modify species in nature. This webinar series will explore the variety of drive systems found in nature, mechanisms responsible for drive and impacts of drive on behavior and evolution..
