Article Synopsis
- Meiotic drive loci can skew allele segregation to favor their own transmission, despite potential drawbacks for the host organism.
- Research on Drosophila simulans reveals that a group of selfish genes (the Dox gene family) can be silenced by two newly discovered hpRNA siRNA-class loci (Nmy and Tmy).
- Genetic interactions indicate that knocking out Nmy causes an imbalance in male offspring, while Tmy knockout leads to male sterility, with both loci crucial for maintaining normal sex ratios and influencing the evolution of male gametogenesis.
