Single nucleus sequencing reveals evidence of inter-nucleus recombination in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Eukaryotes thought to have evolved clonally for millions of years are referred to as ancient asexuals. The oldest group among these are the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which are plant symbionts harboring hundreds of nuclei within one continuous cytoplasm.
