R2d2 is a mouse gene that is sometimes a selfish gene. R2d2 is short for "Responder to meiotic drive 2", It was discovered by UNC School of Medicine researchers to display . R2d2 is a stretch of DNA on mouse chromosome 2 that contains multiple copies of the gene. When seven or more copies of that latter gene are present, R2d2 becomes selfish. In one lab breeding population, in a selective sweep, R2d2 increased from being in 50 percent of the lab mice's chromosomes to 85 percent in 10 generations. By 15 generations, it reached fixation.
