Evolution of eukaryotic centromeres by drive and suppression of selfish genetic elementsT. Kumon and M. A. Lampson, Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022.
Despite the universal requirement for faithful chromosome segregation, eukaryotic centromeres are rapidly evolving. It is hypothesized that rapid centromere evolution represents an evolutionary arms race between selfish genetic elements that drive, or propagate at the expense of ... |

Gene tech to prevent crossbreeding could safely harness the power of gene drivesI. l. Guillou, The Science Advisory Board, 2021.
A new gene engineering technology could allow scientists to harness the benefits of releasing genetically modified animals into the wild without the risk of uncontrolled spread. The new study, published in the journal Nature Communications on June 2, could help in the battle ... |

Making a murderer: The evolutionary framing of hybrid gamete-killersSweigart, ALB, Yaniv; Fishman, Lila, Trends in Genetics, 35:245-252. 2019.
Recent molecular investigations of hybrid incompatibilities have revealed fascinating patterns of genetic interactions that have been interpreted as the remnants of a history of selfish evolution. Instead of framing hybrid incompatibilities in light of genetic conflict, we ... |

Experiments in the hybridisation of tsetse-flies (Glossina, Diptera) and the possibility of a new method of control.F. L. Vanderplank, Transactions of the Royal Entomological Society of London, 98:1-18. 1947.
Hybridisation of Glossina morsitans Westwood, G. swynnertoni Austen and G. pallidipes Austen was attempted in order to discover(a) Whether the three could be regarded as distinct species or as sub-species of morsitans ; (b) Whether they would mate freely with one another, and if ... |

Tsetse hybridsW. H. Potts, Nature, 154:606-607. 1944.
IN 1936 I attempted to cross various species of tsetse (Glossina) with the idea that, should they hybridize readily, and should the resultant hybrids prove sterile, this might be tried as a measure of control. Corson had already, in 1932, obtained three offspring from crosses ... |

Hybridization between Glossina Species and Suggested New Method for Control of Certain Species of TsetseF. L. Vanderplank, Nature, 154:607-608. 1944.
Corson and Potts record crossing Glossina swynnertoni Aust. with G. morsitans Westwood. Corson crossed twelve female G. morsitans with male G. swynnertoni, of which only two females produced a total of three pupæ. All his females lived long enough for reproduction to take place. ... |
