Inheritance Cube: MEDEA (Maternal Effect Dominant Embryonic Arrest)
Source:R/Cube-MEDEA.R
cubeMEDEA.Rd
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
