Testing the Drosophila maternal haploid gene for functional divergence and a role in hybrid incompatibility
D. M. Castillo, C. M. Kean, B. McCormick, S. Natesan, D. Barbash
The paper investigates the role of the maternal haploid gene in hybrid incompatibility between Drosophila species and finds that D. simulans mh complements D. melanogaster mh mutations, contradicting the hypothesis of co-evolution with the 359-bp satellite.
