Flavors of Non-Random Meiotic Segregation of Autosomes and Sex ChromosomesF. Pajpach, T. Wu, L. Shearwin-Whyatt, K. Jones and F. Grützner, Genes, 12. 2021.
Segregation of chromosomes is a multistep process occurring both at mitosis and meiosis to ensure that daughter cells receive a complete set of genetic information. Critical components in the chromosome segregation include centromeres, kinetochores, components of sister chromatid ... |

X-linked meiotic drive can boost population size and persistenceC. Mackintosh, A. Pomiankowski and M. F. Scott, Genetics, 217:11. 2020.
Here, we find general conditions for the spread and fixation of X-linked alleles. Our conditions show that the spread of X-linked alleles depends on sex-specific selection and transmission rather than the time spent in each sex. Applying this logic to meiotic drive, we show that ... |
