Now, in a meticulously assembled, thought-provoking and sometimes deliciously speculative textbook, Burt and Trivers' Genes in Conflict documents the selfish genetic elements that populate ...

According to the centromere drive hypothesis, centromere DNA sequences (like the maize knobs) can act like selfish genetic elements, promoting their transmission to the next generation by hijacking ...

Called 'selfish' genes, they can sometimes be harmful ... The rapid evolution of wtf drivers have enabled them to outrun suppressor genetic elements for over 100 million years.

Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species—including plants, fungi, and even humans—are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called "selfish ...

as most organisms tend to remove non-essential genetic elements. However, the genetic mechanisms by which B chromosomes avoid elimination are poorly understood. An international research team led ...

Called “selfish” genes, they can sometimes be harmful or even lethal ... The rapid evolution of wtf drivers have enabled them to outrun suppressor genetic elements for over 100 million years. However, ...

Researchers identify the mechanism by which a selfish genetic element in C. elegans kills embryos. The toxin, known as peel-1, is carried by the father’s sperm and disrupts embryonic development of ...
