For decades, biologists have considered meiotic drivers as interesting, albeit esoteric, case studies. It is now clear, however, that meiotic drive is more common and phylogenetically widespread than previously supposed. Indeed, intensive study of a few well-known cases has begun to reveal the evolutionary genomic consequences of meiotic drive. We argue here that many features of genome evolution, content, and organization that are seemingly inexplicable by organismal adaptation or nearly neutral processes are instead best accounted for by recurrent histories of meiotic drive. We review how meiotic drive can affect the evolution of sequences, gene copy numbers, genes with functions in meiosis and gametogenesis, signatures of “selection,” chromosome rearrangements, and karyotype evolution. We also explore the interactions of meiotic drive elements with other classes of selfish genetic elements, including satellite DNAs, transposable elements, and with the endogenous host genes involved in drive suppression. Finally, we argue that some aspects of drive-mediated genome evolution are now sufficiently well established that we might reverse the direction of discovery—rather than ask how drive affects genome evolution, we can use genome data to discover new putative drive elements."}],"citation":{"mla":"Presgraves, Daven C., et al. “The Evolutionary Genomics of Meiotic Drive.” <i>Molecular Biology and Evolution</i>, vol. 43, no. 2, msag020, Oxford University Press, 2026, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag020\">10.1093/molbev/msag020</a>.","apa":"Presgraves, D.

J. Muller, who argued that once recombination was suppressed between the X and Y chromosomes, Y-linked genes become “sheltered” from selection, leading to accumulation of recessive loss-of-function (LOF) mutations and decay of Y-linked genes. The hypothesis fell out of favor in the 1970s because early mathematical models failed to support it and data on the dominance of lethal mutations were viewed as incompatible with the hypothesis. We reevaluate the main arguments against Muller's hypothesis and find that they do not conclusively exclude a role for sheltering in sex chromosome evolution. By relaxing restrictive assumptions of earlier models, we show that sheltering promotes fixation of LOF mutations with sexually dimorphic fitness effects, resulting in decay of X-linked genes that are exclusively expressed by males and Y-linked genes that are primarily, though not necessarily exclusively, expressed by females. We further show that drift and other processes contributing to Y degeneration (i.e. selective interference and regulatory evolution) expand conditions of Y-linked gene loss by sheltering. The actual contribution of sheltering to sex chromosome evolution hinges upon the distribution of dominance and sex-specific fitness effects of LOF mutations, which we discuss."}],"publication_status":"published","publisher":"Oxford University Press","type":"journal_article","has_accepted_license":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","intvolume":"        42","quality_controlled":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"ddc":["570"],"year":"2025","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":42,"article_processing_charge":"Yes","isi":1,"month":"08","issue":"8","file_date_updated":"2025-09-02T07:47:32Z"},{"volume":42,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"ddc":["570"],"year":"2025","quality_controlled":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"issue":"5","file_date_updated":"2025-05-28T09:34:36Z","month":"05","isi":1,"article_processing_charge":"Yes","abstract":[{"text":"The males and females of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are highly dimorphic, and this dimorphism is associated with substantial sex-biased gene expression in heads and gonads. How these sex-specific patterns of expression are regulated at the molecular level is unknown. A. franciscana also has differentiated ZW sex chromosomes, with complete dosage compensation, but the molecular mechanism through which compensation is achieved is unknown. Here, we conducted CUT&TAG assays targeting 7 post-translational histone modifications (H3K27me3, H3K9me2, H3K9me3, H3K36me3, H3K27ac, H3K4me3, and H4K16ac) in heads and gonads of A. franciscana, allowing us to divide the genome into 12 chromatin states. We further defined functional chromatin signatures for all genes, which were correlated with transcript level abundances. Differences in the occupancy of the profiled epigenetic marks between sexes were associated with differential gene expression between males and females. Finally, we found a significant enrichment of the permissive H4K16ac histone mark in the Z-specific region in both tissues of females but not males, supporting the role of this histone mark in mediating dosage compensation of the Z chromosome.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"mla":"Bett, Vincent K., et al. “Chromatin Landscape Is Associated with Sex-Biased Expression and Drosophila-like Dosage Compensation of the Z Chromosome in Artemia Franciscana.” <i>Molecular Biology and Evolution</i>, vol. 42, no. 5, msaf085, Oxford University Press, 2025, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf085\">10.1093/molbev/msaf085</a>.","apa":"Bett, V.

Interestingly, the X has undergone turnover in multiple fly species (Diptera) after being conserved for more than 450 MY. The long evolutionary distance between Diptera and other sequenced insect clades makes it difficult to infer what could have contributed to this sudden increase in rate of turnover. Here, we produce the first genome and transcriptome of a long overlooked sister-order to Diptera: Mecoptera. We compare the scorpionfly Panorpa cognata X-chromosome gene content, expression, and structure, to that of several dipteran species as well as more distantly-related insect orders (Orthoptera and Blattodea). We find high conservation of gene content between the mecopteran X and the dipteran Muller F element, as well as several shared biological features, such as the presence of dosage compensation and a low amount of genetic diversity, consistent with a low recombination rate. However, the two homologous X chromosomes differ strikingly in their size and number of genes they carry. Our results therefore support a common ancestry of the mecopteran and ancestral dipteran X chromosomes, and suggest that Muller element F shrank in size and gene content after the split of Diptera and Mecoptera, which may have contributed to its turnover in dipteran insects."}],"article_processing_charge":"Yes","isi":1,"month":"12","issue":"12","file_date_updated":"2024-01-02T11:39:38Z","quality_controlled":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"ddc":["570"],"year":"2023","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":40,"oa_version":"Published Version","article_number":"msad245","date_created":"2023-11-27T16:14:37Z","project":[{"name":"The highjacking of meiosis for asexual reproduction","grant_number":"F8810","_id":"34ae1506-11ca-11ed-8bc3-c14f4c474396"},{"name":"Mechanisms and Evolution of Reproductive Plasticity","_id":"ebb230e0-77a9-11ec-83b8-87a37e0241d3","grant_number":"ESP39 49461"}],"pmid":1,"_id":"14613","publication":"Molecular Biology and Evolution","file":[{"file_size":8623505,"checksum":"47c1c72fb499f26ea52d216b242208c8","date_created":"2024-01-02T11:39:38Z","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2023_MolecularBioEvo_Lasne.pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"14727","access_level":"open_access","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2024-01-02T11:39:38Z"}],"date_published":"2023-12-01T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1537-1719"],"issn":["0737-4038"]},"external_id":{"isi":["001122489000003"],"pmid":["37988296"]},"oa":1,"title":"The scorpionfly (Panorpa cognata) genome highlights conserved and derived features of the peculiar dipteran X chromosome","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-1197-8616","full_name":"Lasne, Clementine","first_name":"Clementine","last_name":"Lasne","id":"02225f57-50d2-11eb-9ed8-8c92b9a34237"},{"id":"0B46FACA-A8E1-11E9-9BD3-79D1E5697425","full_name":"Elkrewi, Marwan N","orcid":"0000-0002-5328-7231","last_name":"Elkrewi","first_name":"Marwan N"},{"full_name":"Toups, Melissa A","orcid":"0000-0002-9752-7380","last_name":"Toups","first_name":"Melissa A","id":"4E099E4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Layana Franco","first_name":"Lorena Alexandra","orcid":"0000-0002-1253-6297","full_name":"Layana Franco, Lorena Alexandra","id":"02814589-eb8f-11eb-b029-a70074f3f18f"},{"first_name":"Ariana","last_name":"Macon","full_name":"Macon, Ariana","id":"2A0848E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Beatriz","last_name":"Vicoso","orcid":"0000-0002-4579-8306","full_name":"Vicoso, Beatriz","id":"49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"article_type":"original","acknowledgement":"We thank the Vicoso lab for their assistance with specimen collection, and Tim Connallon for valuable comments and suggestions on earlier versions of the manuscript.

Different parts of their ZW sex chromosomes have stopped recombining in distinct lineages, creating “evolutionary strata” of various ages. Although the Z-chromosome is well characterized at the genomic and molecular level, the W-chromosome has remained largely unstudied from an evolutionary perspective, as only a few W-linked genes have been detected outside of the model species Schistosoma mansoni. Here, we characterize the gene content and evolution of the W-chromosomes of S. mansoni and of the divergent species S. japonicum. We use a combined RNA/DNA k-mer based pipeline to assemble around 100 candidate W-specific transcripts in each of the species. About half of them map to known protein coding genes, the majority homologous to S. mansoni Z-linked genes. We perform an extended analysis of the evolutionary strata present in the two species (including characterizing a previously undetected young stratum in S. japonicum) to infer patterns of sequence and expression evolution of W-linked genes at different time points after recombination was lost. W-linked genes show evidence of degeneration, including high rates of protein evolution and reduced expression. Most are found in young lineage-specific strata, with only a few high expression ancestral W-genes remaining, consistent with the progressive erosion of nonrecombining regions. Among these, the splicing factor u2af2 stands out as a promising candidate for primary sex determination, opening new avenues for understanding the molecular basis of the reproductive biology of this group.","lang":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","doi":"10.1093/molbev/msab178","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"19386","status":"public"}]},"has_accepted_license":"1","intvolume":"       138","publication_status":"published","publisher":"Oxford University Press","corr_author":"1","type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":138,"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"quality_controlled":"1","year":"2021","ddc":["610"],"month":"06","file_date_updated":"2022-05-06T09:47:18Z","page":"5345-58","issue":"12","article_processing_charge":"No","isi":1},{"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0737-4038"],"eissn":["1537-1719"]},"date_published":"2019-03-01T00:00:00Z","external_id":{"pmid":["30590559"],"isi":["000462585100006"]},"oa":1,"project":[{"name":"Sex chromosome evolution under male- and female- heterogamety","call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"250ED89C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"P28842-B22"}],"pmid":1,"_id":"6089","oa_version":"Submitted Version","date_created":"2019-03-10T22:59:19Z","publication":"Molecular biology and evolution","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","date_updated":"2025-04-15T08:18:38Z","status":"public","title":"Pleiotropy modulates the efficacy of selection in drosophila melanogaster","author":[{"id":"32DF5794-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Fraisse, Christelle","orcid":"0000-0001-8441-5075","first_name":"Christelle","last_name":"Fraisse"},{"first_name":"Gemma","last_name":"Puixeu Sala","full_name":"Puixeu Sala, Gemma","orcid":"0000-0001-8330-1754","id":"33AB266C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"id":"49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Vicoso","first_name":"Beatriz","full_name":"Vicoso, Beatriz","orcid":"0000-0002-4579-8306"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30590559"}],"day":"01","department":[{"_id":"BeVi"},{"_id":"NiBa"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"5757","relation":"popular_science","status":"public"}]},"doi":"10.1093/molbev/msy246","scopus_import":"1","abstract":[{"text":"Pleiotropy is the well-established idea that a single mutation affects multiple phenotypes. If a mutation has opposite effects on fitness when expressed in different contexts, then genetic conflict arises. Pleiotropic conflict is expected to reduce the efficacy of selection by limiting the fixation of beneficial mutations through adaptation, and the removal of deleterious mutations through purifying selection. Although this has been widely discussed, in particular in the context of a putative “gender load,” it has yet to be systematically quantified. In this work, we empirically estimate to which extent different pleiotropic regimes impede the efficacy of selection in Drosophila melanogaster. We use whole-genome polymorphism data from a single African population and divergence data from D. simulans to estimate the fraction of adaptive fixations (α), the rate of adaptation (ωA), and the direction of selection (DoS). After controlling for confounding covariates, we find that the different pleiotropic regimes have a relatively small, but significant, effect on selection efficacy. Specifically, our results suggest that pleiotropic sexual antagonism may restrict the efficacy of selection, but that this conflict can be resolved by limiting the expression of genes to the sex where they are beneficial. Intermediate levels of pleiotropy across tissues and life stages can also lead to maladaptation in D. melanogaster, due to inefficient purifying selection combined with low frequency of mutations that confer a selective advantage. Thus, our study highlights the need to consider the efficacy of selection in the context of antagonistic pleiotropy, and of genetic conflict in general.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"apa":"Fraisse, C., Puixeu Sala, G., &#38; Vicoso, B.

However, the influence of these traits on host evolution when parasites are no longer present is unclear. We used experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing of Escherichia coli to determine the effects of past and present exposure to parasitic viruses (phages) on the spread of mutator alleles, resistance, and bacterial competitive fitness. We found that mutator alleles spread rapidly during adaptation to any of four different phage species, and this pattern was even more pronounced with multiple phages present simultaneously. However, hypermutability did not detectably accelerate adaptation in the absence of phages and recovery of fitness costs associated with resistance. Several lineages evolved phage resistance through elevated mucoidy, and during subsequent evolution in phage-free conditions they rapidly reverted to nonmucoid, phage-susceptible phenotypes. Genome sequencing revealed that this phenotypic reversion was achieved by additional genetic changes rather than by genotypic reversion of the initial resistance mutations. Insertion sequence (IS) elements played a key role in both the acquisition of resistance and adaptation in the absence of parasites; unlike single nucleotide polymorphisms, IS insertions were not more frequent in mutator lineages. Our results provide a genetic explanation for rapid reversion of mucoidy, a phenotype observed in other bacterial species including human pathogens. Moreover, this demonstrates that the types of genetic change underlying adaptation to fitness costs, and consequently the impact of evolvability mechanisms such as increased point-mutation rates, depend critically on the mechanism of resistance."}],"citation":{"apa":"Wielgoss, S., Bergmiller, T., Bischofberger, A.

The exciting technical developments of the 1990s and the 2000s eclipsed that tool; as a result, many investigators today lack experience with growth rate measurements. Recently, investigators in a number of areas have started to use measurements of bacterial growth rates for a variety of purposes. Those measurements have been greatly facilitated by the availability of microwell plate readers that permit the simultaneous measurements on up to 384 different cultures. Only the exponential (logarithmic) portions of the resulting growth curves are useful for determining growth rates, and manual determination of that portion and calculation of growth rates can be tedious for high-throughput purposes. Here, we introduce the program GrowthRates that uses plate reader output files to automatically determine the exponential portion of the curve and to automatically calculate the growth rate, the maximum culture density, and the duration of the growth lag phase. GrowthRates is freely available for Macintosh, Windows, and Linux.We discuss the effects of culture volume, the classical bacterial growth curve, and the differences between determinations in rich media and minimal (mineral salts) media. This protocol covers calibration of the plate reader, growth of culture inocula for both rich and minimal media, and experimental setup. As a guide to reliability, we report typical day-to-day variation in growth rates and variation within experiments with respect to position of wells within the plates.","lang":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","isi":1,"month":"01","page":"232 - 238","issue":"1","quality_controlled":"1","year":"2014","ddc":["570"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":31,"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:54:37Z","oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"1902","pmid":1,"publication":"Molecular Biology and Evolution","publist_id":"5193","date_published":"2014-01-01T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"free access","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1537-1719"],"issn":["0737-4038"]},"oa":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000329253200022"],"pmid":["24170494"]},"title":"Growth rates made easy","author":[{"last_name":"Hall","first_name":"Barry","full_name":"Hall, Barry"},{"id":"2DDF136A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Acar","first_name":"Hande","full_name":"Acar, Hande","orcid":"0000-0003-1986-9753"},{"first_name":"Anna","last_name":"Nandipati","full_name":"Nandipati, Anna"},{"last_name":"Barlow","first_name":"Miriam","full_name":"Barlow, Miriam"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/mst187"}],"article_type":"original","OA_place":"publisher","day":"01","department":[{"_id":"JoBo"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","date_updated":"2026-06-18T18:03:30Z"},{"publist_id":"2728","publication":"Molecular Biology and Evolution","extern":"1","_id":"3655","oa_version":"None","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:04:28Z","oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1537-1719"],"issn":["0737-4038"]},"date_published":"1988-07-01T00:00:00Z","day":"01","article_type":"original","acknowledgement":"We thank Dr. W.

Restriction-enzyme sites in the gene region of the rDNA repeat were identical in both races and homogeneous in the rDNA family. In contrast, sites for Hind111 and PvuII in the intergenic spacer (IGS) region showed racial divergence and variation within the rDNA family and within populations. A short insertion in the 28s gene region was present in a minority of repeats in both races. The distributions of four polymorphic IGS Hind111 fragments were surveyed at 43 locations in and around the hybrid zone. Two of these fragments appear to be distributed as clines, one of which is strongly associated with the neo-X chromosome. The other two fragments show considerable variation in both races and show negative association. It is proposed that the clinally distributed variants arise from processes of amplification and divergence of IGS sequence variants and that such \r\ndivergence may contribute to hybrid inviability.
