Analyses of expressed sequence tags in <it>Neurospora</it> reveal rapid evolution of genes associated with the early stages of sexual reproduction in fungi

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The broadly accepted pattern of rapid evolution of reproductive genes is primarily based on studies of animal systems, although several examples of rapidly evolving genes involved in reproduction are found in diverse additional taxa....
