DNA Sequence Characterization and Molecular Evolution of <i>MAT1</i> and <i>MAT2</i> Mating-Type Loci of the Self-Compatible Ascomycete Mold <i>Neosartorya fischeri</i>
23 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Degenerate PCR and chromosome-walking approaches were used to identify mating-type (MAT) genes and flanking regions from the homothallic (sexually self-fertile) euascomycete fungus Neosartorya fischeri, a close relative of the opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Both putative alpha- and high-mobility-group-domain MAT genes were found within the same genome, providing a functional explanation for...
