Meiotic drive reduces egg-to-adult viability in stalk-eyed flies

Abstract. A number of species are affected by Sex-Ratio (SR) meiotic drive, a selfish genetic element located on the X-chromosome that causes dysfunction o

Updated; meiotic drive males have large testes and are as fertile as wild type. But they have small eyespan (unattractive to females) and small accessory glands (can't mate so often) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Maintenance of fertility in the face of meiotic drive

Selfish genetic elements that gain a transmission advantage through the destruction of sperm have grave implications for drive male fertility. In the X-linked SR meiotic drive system of a stalk-eyed...
