Molecular and evolutionary strategies of meiotic cheating by selfish centromeres
T. Akera, E. Trimm, M. Lampson
The paper investigates how selfish centromeres evolve to bias transmission during meiosis by altering histone phosphorylation and microtubule dynamics, and shows that centromere drive depends on slowing meiotic progression.
