   The Anopheles gambiae 2La chromosome inversion is associated with susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum in Africa

   Michelle M Riehle et al.

   A common chromosome inversion in African malaria mosquito (Anopheles gambiae) is associated with differences in malaria infection, adult resting behavior and ecology, and may aid the most efficient vectors to evade malaria control.

   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.

   Heredity: The gene family that cheats Mendel

   J Dylan Shropshire, Antonis Rokas

   Some alleles of the wtf gene family can increase their chances of spreading by using poisons to kill other alleles, and antidotes to save themselves.

    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.
