Large-scale fungal strain sequencing unravels the molecular diversity in mating loci maintained by long-term balancing selection
31 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Balancing selection, an evolutionary force that retains genetic diversity, has been detected in multiple genes and organisms, such as the sexual mating loci in fungi. However, to quantify the strength of balancing selection and define the mating-related genes require a large number of strains. In tetrapolar basidiomycete fungi, sexual type is determined by two unlinked loci, MATA and MATB. Genes in both loci...
