My first contribution to the literature that includes aliens. It will not be the last....👽👽
Exceptions to Mendel’s law of segregation were important for showing that chromosomes carry genetic material. @zanderslab explains how scrutiny of other exceptional inheritance patterns may help to unravel unsolved mysteries of genetics #Mendel200 plos.io/3aSgSHvView quoted post on X
New paper from us and Du lab. wtf killer meiotic drivers are really f'n old. Driving for >100million years! led by @DeCarvalhoMicka and @guosongjia biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
www.biorxiv.org The wtf meiotic driver gene family has unexpectedly persisted for over 100 million years Meiotic drivers are selfish elements that bias their own transmission into more than half of the viable progeny produced by a driver+/driver− heterozygote. Meiotic drivers are thought to exist for... Very cool paper about killer meiotic drivers in arabidopsis

This meeting focuses on repetitive regions of genomes (TEs, satellites, rDNA, centromeres, gene families, etc) and has a great lineup of speakers. Many more to be selected from abstracts.
Save the date! The Stowers Research Conference is October 26 – 28. Reminder, these are biennial meetings that bring together researchers, faculty, and graduate students to inspire creative collaboration in the basic sciences. Registration opens soon. bit.ly/3tqMBpaView quoted post on X
