Neurospora ( ) is a selfish genetic element that kills spores to achieve gene drive. Here, we describe the isolation and mapping of , a mutation that disrupts spore killing. The mutation is located 15.6 cM from on Chromosome III. The significance of this discovery with respect to evolution is discussed.
粗糙脉孢菌(Neurospora)是一种自私的遗传元件,它通过杀死孢子来实现基因驱动。在这里,我们描述了粗糙脉孢菌(Neurospora)的分离和定位,这是一种破坏孢子杀伤的突变。该突变位于第三条染色体上,距离粗糙脉孢菌(Neurospora)15.6厘摩。讨论了这一发现对粗糙脉孢菌(Neurospora)进化的意义。
