Beyond the Prdm9 model: independent evolution of hybrid male sterility in house mice

|
By Beth L. Dumont, Jan Wójcik, Jaroslav Piálek, Petra Dufková
| Nature Verified
Abstract Hybrid sterility is a critical postzygotic barrier that limits gene flow during speciation, yet the genetic architecture underlying evolution of such barriers in the early stages of speciation remains poorly characterized. In house mice, F1 male sterility observed in crosses between Mus musculus musculus and M. m.

Young KRAB-zinc finger gene clusters are highly dynamic incubators of ERV-driven genetic heterogeneity in mice - Nature Communications

|
By Melania Bruno, Apratim Mitra, Glennis A. Logsdon, Beth L. Dumont, Ben Black, Thomas Keane, Anne C. Ferguson-Smith, Ryan Dale
| Nature Verified
Abstract KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) comprise the largest family of mammalian transcription factors, rapidly evolving within and between species. Most KZFPs in human and mice have been found to repress endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and other retrotransposons, with KZFP gene numbers correlating with the ERV load across species, suggesting coevolution. Whether new KZFPs emerge in response to ERV invasions is currently unknown.
