Meiosis in the human pathogen <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> has the highest known number of crossovers

2022-01-15

Abstract excerpt

Evidence from both population genetics and a laboratory sexual cycle indicate that sex is common in the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus . However, the impact of sexual reproduction has remained unclear. Here, we show that meiosis in A. fumigatus involves the highest known recombination rate, producing ~29 crossovers per chromosome. This represents the highest known crossover rate for any Eukaryotic species. We vali...
