Inheritance Cube: MEDEA (Maternal Effect Dominant Embryonic Arrest)
Description
This function creates an inheritance cube to model a MEDEA drive system. This
system was first discovered in flour beetles. It biases inheritance by expressing
a maternal toxin such that offspring die unless they express a zygotic antidote.
This drive has 3 alleles at 1 locus:
W: Wild-type allele
M: MEDEA allele
R: Resistance allele
Usage
cubeMEDEA(
rM = 0,
rW = 0,
Teff = 1,
eta = NULL,
phi = NULL,
omega = NULL,
xiF = NULL,
xiM = NULL,
s = NULL
)
Arguments
rM |
Breakdown of MEDEA allele, no homing/toxin/antidote, M -> R conversion |
rW |
De novo resistance generation, W -> R conversion |
Teff |
Efficacy of the toxin |
eta |
Genotype-specific mating fitness |
phi |
Genotype-specific sex ratio at emergence |
omega |
Genotype-specific multiplicative modifier of adult mortality |
xiF |
Genotype-specific female pupatory success |
xiM |
Genotype-specific male pupatory success |
s |
Genotype-specific fractional reduction(increase) in fertility |
Value
Named list containing the inheritance cube, transition matrix, genotypes, wild-type allele, and all genotype-specific parameters.
