Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The self-fertile filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma contains a large (approximately 7 Mbp) and young (< 6 MYA) region of suppressed recombination within its mating-type (mat) chromosomes. The objective of the present study is to reveal the evolutionary history, including key genomic events, associated with the various regions of the mat chromosomes among ten strains representing all the...
