Ancestral admixture is the main determinant of global biodiversity in fission yeast
2018-09-12
Abstract excerpt
Mutation and recombination are key evolutionary processes governing phenotypic variation and reproductive isolation. We here demonstrate that biodiversity within all globally known strains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe arose through admixture between two divergent ancestral lineages. Initial hybridization occurred ~20 sexual outcrossing generations ago consistent with recent, human-induced migration at the onset of...
