    Heredity: The gene family that cheats Mendel

    J Dylan Shropshire, Antonis Rokas

    wtf genes are prolific dual poison-antidote meiotic drivers

    Nicole L Nuckolls et al
    Selfish wtf meiotic drive genes use overlapping transcripts to encode both a trans-acting poison to kill gametes that do not inherit the gene and a gamete-autonomous antidote to specifically rescue the gametes that do.

    A large gene family in fission yeast encodes spore killers that subvert Mendel’s law

    Wen Hu et al
    Two members of a large fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) gene family are shown to act as spore killers that enhance their own transmission into progenies by impeding the maturation of spores not inheriting them.
