Genomic hallmarks of parasexual reproduction in three hybrid groups of the human pathogen <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2026-05-31

Abstract excerpt

Hybridization is a major driver of fungal evolution, yet knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underpinning hybridization and its genomic impact remain limited. Here, we analyse 197 Cryptococcus neoformans genomic sequences, including 13 newly sequenced strains, identifying three genetically clustered and distinct hybrid groups (H1, H2 and H3) each with unique parental origins and ecological associations. Using p...
