Transient structural variations have strong effects on quantitative traits and reproductive isolation in fission yeast

Fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe has diverse traits. Jeffares et al. characterize large copy number variations (CNVs) and rearrangements in S. pombe, and show that CNVs are transient with effects on quantitative traits and gene expression, whereas rearrangements influence intrinsic reproductiv...
