Meiotic drive is an enigmatic process that results from biased segregation of selfish genetic elements that enhance their own transmission and drive evolution. During asymmetric female meiotic divisions, selfish elements segregate preferentially towards the egg rather than polar bodies. Recent findings demonstrate that asymmetric spindle tyrosination helps selfish elements to cheat.
减数分裂驱动是一种神秘的过程,源于自私遗传元件的偏置分离,这些元件增强了自身的传递并推动了进化。在不对称的雌性减数分裂中,自私元件优先向卵子而不是极体分离。最近的发现表明,不对称纺锤体酪氨酸化有助于自私元件作弊。
