Disruption of small RNAs and mechanistic variation in Segregation Distorter: A sperm-killing drive system in Drosophila melanogaster
Meiotic drivers achieve biased transmission to the next generation, often at the expense of their host. Drive is widespread and can shape the evolution of proteins, chromosome structure, and karyotypes. The sperm killer Segregation Distorter (SD) in Drosophila melanogaster is a well-studied driver but like most complex...
