A coupled process of same- and opposite-sex mating generates polyploidy and genetic diversity in Candida tropicalis.
Sexual reproduction is a universal mechanism for generating genetic diversity in eukaryotes. Fungi exhibit diverse strategies for sexual reproduction both in nature and in the laboratory. In this study, we report the discovery of same-sex (homothallic) mating in the human fungal pathogen Candida tro...
