Factors enforcing the species boundary between the human pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus deneoformans.
Hybridization has resulted in the origin and variation in extant species, and hybrids continue to arise despite pre- and post-zygotic barriers that limit their formation and evolutionary success. One important system that maintains species boundaries in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the mismatch rep...
