S. pombe wtf drivers use dual transcriptional regulation and selective protein exclusion from spores to cause meiotic drive.

S. pombe wtf drivers use dual transcriptional regulation and selective protein exclusion from spores to cause meiotic drive.

Meiotic drivers bias gametogenesis to ensure their transmission into more than half the offspring of a heterozygote. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, wtf meiotic drivers destroy the meiotic products (spores) that do not inherit the driver from a heterozygote, thereby reducing fertility. wtf drivers enc...
