Abstract excerpt
The inheritance of mitochondrial genes and genomes are uniparental in most sexual eukaryotes. This pattern of inheritance makes mitochondrial genomes in natural populations effectively clonal. Here, we examined the mitochondrial population genetics of the emerging human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus gattii. The DNA sequences for five mitochondrial DNA fragments were obtained from each of 50 isolates belonging to...
