Mechanisms of unisexual mating in Cryptococcus neoformans.

Fungal genetics and biology : FG & B - 1 Jul 2011

Wang Linqi, Lin Xiaorong

Abstract excerpt

Sex serves a pivotal role in genetic exchange and it contributes to the fitness and genetic diversity for eukaryotic populations. Although the importance of the canonical bisexual mating has been widely accepted, the significance of the evolution and maintenance of unisexual mating observed in some eukaryotes is unclear. The recent discovery of same-sex mating in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans...
