Ploidy tug-of-war: Evolutionary and genetic environments influence the rate of ploidy drive in a human fungal pathogen.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2017

Gerstein Aleeza C, Lim Heekyung, Berman Judith, Hickman Meleah A

Abstract excerpt

Variation in baseline ploidy is seen throughout the tree of life, yet the factors that determine why one ploidy level is maintained over another remain poorly understood. Experimental evolution studies using asexual fungal microbes with manipulated ploidy levels intriguingly reveals a propensity to return to the historical baseline ploidy, a phenomenon that we term "ploidy drive." We evolved haploid, diploid, and...
