The role of pleiotropy in the maintenance of sex in yeast.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2007

Hill Jessica A, Otto Sarah P

Abstract excerpt

In facultatively sexual species, lineages that reproduce asexually for a period of time can accumulate mutations that reduce their ability to undergo sexual reproduction when sex is favorable. We propagated Saccharomyces cerevisiae asexually for approximately 800 generations, after which we measured the change in sexual fitness, measured as the proportion of asci observed in sporulation medium. The sporulation...
