Abstract excerpt
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the large ribosomal RNA region of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was developed as a genetic marker for investigating mitochondrial transmission in sexual crosses of the human pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. Strain JEC20 of C. neoformans var. neoformans (mat a) was mated with six strains of C. neoformans var. grubii (mat alpha). Successful...
