Unmatched Level of Molecular Convergence among Deeply Divergent Complex Multicellular Fungi

18 Mar 2020

Abstract excerpt

Convergent evolution is pervasive in nature, but it is poorly understood how various constraints and natural selection limit the diversity of evolvable phenotypes. Here, we analyze the transcriptome across fruiting body development to understand the independent evolution of complex multicellularity in the two largest clades of fungi-the Agarico- and Pezizomycotina. Despite >650 My of divergence between these...
