The project investigates the evolutionary significance of meiotic drive using the fungus Neurospora. It aims to understand how selfish genetic elements influence genome evolution and speciation by studying the Spore killer element within this model organism.
The traditional view of the genome is that of a highly coordinated network that has evolved to produce a successful individual.
However, the alternative view of the genome as containing intrinsically conflicting parts that coevolve antagonistically, has recently emerged.
Today, it is widely accepted that conflicts caused by selfish genetic elements is a driving force for evolutionary innovation, and hence, is of fundamental importance for all aspects of evolution.
Nevertheless, empirical data on…
