A key role for sex chromosomes in the regulation of parthenogenesis in the brown alga Ectocarpus.
Although evolutionary transitions from sexual to asexual reproduction are frequent in eukaryotes, the genetic bases of these shifts remain largely elusive. Here, we used classic quantitative trait analysis, combined with genomic and transcriptomic information to dissect the genetic basis of asexual,...
