Causes and Consequences of Recombination Rate Variation
(2014)Recombination is the process in which genetic material is exchanged between one's homologous chromosome pairs during egg or sperm development (meiosis). Recombination is necessary for proper segregation of chromosomes during ... -
Causes and Consequences of Recombination Rate Variation in Drosophila
(2011)Recombination occurs during meiosis to produce new allelic combinations in natural populations, and thus strongly affects evolutionary processes. The model system Drosophila has been crucial for understanding the mechanics ... -
Comparative analyses of clinical and environmental populations of Cryptococcus neoformans in Botswana.
(Mol Ecol, 2015-07)Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (Cng) is the most common cause of fungal meningitis, and its prevalence is highest in sub-Saharan Africa. Patients become infected by inhaling airborne spores or desiccated yeast cells ... -
Physical and Genetic Analysis of the CUP1 Tandem Array in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2016)The genomes of many strains of baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, contain multiple repeats of the copper-binding protein Cup1. Cup1 is a member of the metallothionein family, and is found in a tandem array on chromosome ... -
Sex in Cryptococcus: Signaling, Mating-type Locus Evolution and Gene Silencing
(2008-02-26)Fungi have a genetically controlled sex determination system, which is governed by a small, sex-specific region in the genome called the mating-type locus (MAT). In the basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans, the ... -
The Mechanism of Mitotic Recombination in Yeast
(2010)A mitotically dividing cell regularly experiences DNA damage including double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). Homologous mitotic recombination is an important mechanism for the repair of DSBs, but inappropriate repair of DNA ...
