Evolution of the sex-related locus and genomic features shared in microsporidia and fungi.
<h4>Background</h4>Microsporidia are obligate intracellular, eukaryotic pathogens that infect a wide range of animals from nematodes to humans, and in some cases, protists. The preponderance of evidence as to the origin of the microsporidia reveals a close relationship with the fungi, ei...
