Fine-scale genetic mapping of a hybrid sterility factor between <it>Drosophila simulans </it>and <it>D. mauritiana</it>: the varied and elusive functions of "speciation genes"
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Hybrid male sterility (HMS) is a usual outcome of hybridization between closely related animal species. It arises because interactions between alleles that are functional within one species may be disrupted in hybrids. The identifica...
