The B chromosome of Pseudococcus viburni: a selfish chromosome that exploits whole-genome meiotic drive

I. M. Vea, A. G. de la Filia, K. S. Jaron, A. J. Mongue, F. J. Ruiz-Ruano, S. J. Barlow, R. Nelson, L. Ross

This paper investigates the B chromosome in Pseudococcus viburni, identifying its genetic content and mechanisms that allow it to escape paternal genome elimination during meiosis.
