A male-killing gene encoded by a symbiotic virus of Drosophila
Maternally inherited symbionts that kill male insect hosts are well known in bacteria, but are also beginning to be recognised in viruses. In this study, the authors identify a gene from a symbiotic virus genome that is responsible for the male-killing phenotype of this virus in the fly Drosophila b...
