Male-killing symbiont damages host’s dosage-compensated sex chromosome to induce embryonic apoptosis

Symbiotic bacteria are able to interfere with host reproduction in ways that are detrimental to the host organism. Here the authors show that Spiroplasma induces DNA damage on the male X chromosome in Drosophila, causing sex-specific apoptosis.
