Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in an ascomycete fungus with self-fertile spores.
Recombination is often suppressed at sex-determining loci in plants and animals, and at self-incompatibility or mating-type loci in plants and fungi. In fungal ascomycetes, recombination suppression around the mating-type locus is associated with pseudo-homothallism, i.e. the production of self-fert...
