Female meiotic drive is the phenomenon where a selfish genetic element alters chromosome segregation during female meiosis to segregate to the egg and transmit to the next generation more frequently than Mendelian expectation. While several examples of female meiotic drive have been known for many decades, a molecular understanding of the underlying mechanisms has been elusive. Recent advances in this area in several model species prompts a comparative re-examination of these drive systems. In this review, we compare female meiotic drive of several animal and plant species, highlighting pertinent similarities.

揭开女性减数分裂驱动的神秘面纱：我们在哪里

女性减数分裂驱动是一种自私的遗传因素在女性减数分裂过程中改变染色体分离以分离到卵子并比孟德尔预期更频繁地传递给下一代的现象。几十年来，虽然女性减数分裂驱动的几个例子已经为人所知，但对潜在机制的分子理解一直难以捉摸。几个模型物种在这一领域的最新进展促使对这些驱动系统进行比较重新检查。在这篇综述中，我们比较了几种动植物物种的雌性减数分裂驱动力，突出了相关的相似之处。
