Genome Silencing and Elimination: Insights from a “Selfish” B Chromosome
B chromosomes are non-essential components of numerous plant and animal genomes. Because many of these “extra” chromosomes enhance their own transmission in ways that are detrimental to the rest of the genome, they can be thought of as genome parasites. An extreme example is a paternally inherited B...
