Multiple convergent supergene evolution events in mating-type chromosomes

Multiple convergent supergene evolution events in mating-type chromosomes

Supergenes result from beneficial linkage and recombination suppression between two or more genes. Giraud and colleagues use whole genome sequencing data to show convergent evolution of supergenes on mating-type chromosomes in multiple closely-related fungal lineages.
