The Evolution of Recombination Landscapes and Mechanisms in Drosophila in Light of Intragenomic Conflict
… (SC), a protein complex necessary for proper meiotic recombination, is evolving rapidly in Drosophila due to positive selection. I proposed several hypotheses to explain the rapid evolution of the SC including the interaction between the SC and centromere-mediated meiotic drive. In the next …

Association of Polymorphic Blood Group Systems and Relative Fitness in Pigs
… There was evidence for prezygotic selection (meiotic drive) in the B system. The method of maximum likelihood was used to estimate relative fitness of blood group genotypes from segregation data where a consistent heterotic effect was obtained in the H system with heterozygote superiority …

How Clonal Ants Clone: The Reproductive Biology of the Clonal Raider Ant, Ooceraca Biroi
… at the expense of the rest of the genome (i.e., meiotic drive), but this represents a rare example of "unselfish" meiotic drive, a phenomenon that can easily go undetected in traditional genetic studies, and which therefore might be more common than is currently appreciated throughout eukaryotes. …

The genomic and genetic basis of mammalian sexual reproduction : sequence of the mouse Y chromosome, and a gene regulatory program for meiotic prophase
… of X-Y gene families is a result of sex-linked meiotic drive. Chapter 3 describes the gene regulatory program of meiotic prophase. Meiotic prophase comprises a complex chromosomal program results in the production of haploid gametes. This must be supported by a program of gene expression via …

Aberrant segregation in human populations
… case of non-random assortment of chromosomes and meiotic drive. Separating children of fathers of given heterozygous ABO genotypes into sperm classes (classified by the ABO gene received from the father), for children of A1B and A2B fathers a change in association of the sperm type with the sex of …
