Combinations of Spok genes create multiple meiotic drivers in Podospora

Combinations of Spok genes create multiple meiotic drivers in Podospora

Meiotic drive is the preferential transmission of a particular allele during sexual reproduction. The phenomenon is observed as spore killing in multiple fungi. In natural populations of Podospora anserina, seven spore killer types (Psks) have been identified through classical genetic analyses. Here...
