Transmission-ratio distortion is a departure from a 1:1 segregation of alleles in the gametes of a heterozygous individual. The so-called driving allele is strongly selected regardless of its effect on the fitness of the carrying individual. It may then have an important impact on neutral polymorphism due to the genetic hitchhiking effect. We study this hitchhiking effect in the case of true meiotic drive in autosomes, and show that it is more dependent on the recombination rate than in the classical case of a gene positively selected at the organism level.
Key Words: hitchhiking, meiotic drive, selfish genetic element, transmission-ratio distortion
