Abstract:
The article considers the distribution and mechanisms of the meiotic drive as a phenomenon manifested in unequal transmission of gene alleles and/or homologous chromosomes into gametes during meiosis. The meiotic drive has been studied in the most detail in Drosophila, mice, corn and in ascomycete fungi of the genera Neurospora and Podospora. The consequence of the meiotic drive is a shift in the frequencies of alleles in the gene pool and the maintenance of non-adaptive traits in the population.

Abstract:
Abstract Meiotic drive is the subversion of meiosis so that particular genes are preferentially transmitted to the progeny. Meiotic drive generally causes the preferential segregation of small regions of the genome; however, in maize we propose that meiotic drive is responsible for the evolution of large repetitive DNA arrays on all chromosomes. A maize meiotic drive locus found on an uncommon form of chromosome 10 [abnormal 10 (Ab10)] may be largely responsible for the evolution of heterochromatic chromosomal knobs, which can confer meiotic drive potential to every maize chromosome.

Abstract:
Female meiotic drive is the phenomenon where a selfish genetic element alters chromosome segregation during female meiosis to segregate to the egg and transmit to the next generation more frequently than Mendelian expectation. While several examples of female meiotic drive have been known for many decades, a molecular understanding of the underlying mechanisms has been elusive. Recent advances in this area in several model species prompts a comparative re-examination of these drive systems. In this review, we compare female meiotic drive of several animal and plant species, highlighting pertin

Abstract:
Sex chromosome meiotic drive, the non-Mendelian transmission of sex chromosomes, is the expression of an intragenomic conflict that can have extreme evolutionary consequences. However, the molecular bases of such conflicts remain poorly understood. Here, we show that a young and rapidly evolving X-linked heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) gene, HP1D2, plays a key role in the classical Paris sex-ratio (SR) meiotic drive occurring in Drosophila simulans. Driver HP1D2 alleles prevent the segregation of the Y chromatids during meiosis II, causing female-biased sex ratio in progeny. HP1D2 accumulates

Background Genome size is influenced by natural selection and genetic drift acting on variations from polyploidy and repetitive DNA sequences. We hypothesized that centromere drive, where centromeres compete for inclusion in the functional gamete during meiosis, may also affect genome and chromosome size. This competition occurs in asymmetric meiosis, where only one of the four meiotic products becomes a gamete. If centromere drive influences chromosome size evolution, it may also impact p

There is a vast diversity of karyotypes in nature, yet mechanisms that have facilitated such diversity are unclear. Alterations to an organism’s karyotype can have major negative fitness consequences in meiosis through non-disjunction and aneuploidy. Here, I investigated the role of biased segregation in female meiosis, i.e., meiotic drive, as a force that contributes to the evolution of karyotype form. The closely related species pair, Drosophila americana and Drosophila novamexicana, is an exemplar for understanding mechanisms of karyotype evolution. Since their recent divergence nearly half

Abstract:
This thesis examines a particular selfish genetic element (SGE), X-chromosome meiotic drive (XCMD), in the species Drosophila subobscura. XCMD is a system where the X-chromosome kills or disables Y-chromosome sperm to enhance their own transmission to the next generation. This also results in those males producing female biased broods. This selfish enhancement of their own transmission results in conflict with the rest of the genome that can be a potent force in evolution. The first chapters deal with sex and mating behaviour and how XCMD and other SGEs are linked to it. Chapter three focusses

Abstract:
Meiotic drive genes are a class of segregation distorter that gain a transmission advantage in heterozygous males by causing degeneration of non-carrier sperm. This advantage must be balanced by fertility or viability costs if drive is to remain at stable frequencies in a population. A reduction in male fertility due to sperm destruction reduces the fitness of the rest of the genome, accordingly mechanisms to circumvent the effects of drive may evolve. Such adaptations will have implications for how likely it is that drive will persist. The primary theme of this thesis has been examining ferti

A genome is shaped by many different forces. Recombination can for instance both create and maintain genetic diversity, but the need to locally reduce recombination rates will also leave specific signatures. Genetic elements can act selfishly and spreading at the expense of the rest of the genome can leave marks of their activity, as can mechanisms that suppresses them, in a phenomenon known as genomic conflict.

Abstract:
The inherent asymmetry of female meiosis presents an opportunity for genetic material to gain an evolutionary advantage during the formation of the egg. Since centromeres mediate chromosomal segregation by forming the bridge between microtubules and chromosomes during cell division, they are loci that can drive, or selfishly evolve, during female meiosis by manipulating the process of entering the egg. Mimulus guttatus, a species of yellow monkeyflowers, has the best documented case of centromeric drive (Fishman and Saunders, 2008). Since homozygotes for drive have decreased pollen viability,

Abstract Chromosome segregation is conserved throughout eukaryotes. In most systems, it is solely driven by a spindle machinery that is assembled from microtubules. We have recently discovered that actin filaments that are embedded inside meiotic spindles (spindle actin) are needed for accurate chromosome segregation in mammalian oocytes. To understand the function of spindle actin in oocyte meiosis, we have developed high-resolution and super-resolution live and immunofluorescence microscopy assays that are described in this chapter.

Abstract Although the life of a eukaryotic cell is commonly abstracted into stages associated with the progression through genome replication, the relative durations of such stages vary dramatically among phylogenetic lineages. Moreover, even where the regulatory networks governing cell-cycle behavior remain constant in form, there can be dramatic differences in underlying molecular participants. Variation in the nature of the mitotic cell cycle, and the origin of eukaryotic mitosis itself, appears to have involved the duplication and subsequent subfunctionalization of ancestral component gene
