Selfish Genetic Elements and Genomic Conflicts: An Update on Microbial Elements, Their Genetics and Evolutionary Consequences

Priya M.D, Mahalakshmi B.R, Ranjini.P, Latha K, Shreya K.R, Mukunda Suryanarayana & Kiran Kumar H.B · Asian Journal of Biology · 2025

Selfish genetic elements (SGEs) are DNA sequences that enhance their own transmission, often at the expense of the host genome’s overall fitness. They include transposable elements, meiotic drivers, supernumerary B chromosomes, post-segregation killers, and sex-distorting heritab...
