Abstract: Diverse selfish genetic elements have evolved the ability to manipulate reproduction to increase their transmission, and this can result in highly distorted sex ratios [1]. Indeed, one of the major explanations for why sex determination… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/20477724.2020.1803628
Abstract: ABSTRACT Genetic control strategies aimed to bias the sex of progenies towards males present a promising new paradigm to eliminate malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. A synthetic sex-ratio distortion (SD) system was successfully engineered in Anopheles gambiae by… read more here.

DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-23062
Abstract: Transmission ratio distortion (TRD), which is a deviation from Mendelian expectations, has been associated with basic mechanisms of life such as sperm and ova fertility and viability at developmental stages of the reproductive cycle. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.866276
Abstract: Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) denotes the observed allelic or genotypic frequency deviation from the expected Mendelian segregation ratios in the offspring of a heterozygote. TRD can severely hamper gene flow between and within rice species.… read more here.
