A Phylogenomic Inventory of Meiotic Genes: Evidence for Sex in Giardia and an Early Eukaryotic Origin of Meiosis

TL;DR: The presence of five meiosis-specific genes indicates that Giardia is capable of meiotic and, thus, sexual reproduction, and the evolution of meiosis occurred early in eukaryotic evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into evolution of multicellular fungi from the assembled chromosomes of the mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea (Coprinus cinereus)

Jason E. Stajich, +57 more
TL;DR: The mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea is a classic experimental model for multicellular development in fungi because it grows on defined media, completes its life cycle in 2 weeks, produces some 108 synchronized meiocytes, and can be manipulated at all stages in development by mutation and transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protist Homologs of the Meiotic Spo11 Gene and Topoisomerase VI reveal an Evolutionary History of Gene Duplication and Lineage-Specific Loss

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analyses show that Spo11 homologs evolved by two ancient eukaryotic gene duplication events prior to the last common ancestor of extant eUKaryotes, resulting in three eucaryotic paralogs: Spo11-1, Spo11 -2, and Spo 11-3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meiotic mutants and DNA repair genes of Coprinus cinereus

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that this group of genes was recruited during evolution for the application of mitotic DNA repair functions to the metabolism of meiotic chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inoculating curiosity in fungal biology for a new generation of students

TL;DR: Teaching resources for fungal biology available through the internet for undergraduate education are consolidated and evaluated to provide educators with ideas and tools to train future fungal biologists for 21st century careers.
