  • Genes in Conflict

    The Biology of Selfish Genetic Elements

    by Austin Burt, Robert Trivers ...
    In evolution, most genes survive and spread within populations because they increase the ability of their hosts (or their close relatives) to survive and reproduce. But some genes spread in spite of being harmful to the host organism—by distorting their own transmission to the next generation, or by changing how the host behaves toward relatives. As a consequence, different genes in a single ... Read more
