Identification of a genetic element required for spore killing in Neurospora

Nicholas A. Rhoades, Austin M. Harvey, Dilini A. Samarajeewa, Jesper Svedberg, Aykhan Yusifov, Anna Abusharekh, Pennapa Manitchotpisit, Daren W. Brown, Kevin J. Sharp, David G. Rehard, Joshua Peters, Xavier Ostolaza-Maldonado, Jackson Stephenson, Patrick Shiu, Hanna Johannesson, Thomas M. Hammond

The paper identifies rfk-1 as a gene required for spore killing in Neurospora, showing its deletion abolishes Sk-2 spore killing and its insertion disrupts meiosis in non-Sk-2 isolates.
