Divergence between homologous mating-type-linked genes in this region varies between 0 and 8.6%, resembling the evolutionary strata of vertebrate and plant sex chromosomes.Genetics1391-6https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC2728877biostudies-literatureEvolutionary strata in a small mating-type-specific region of the smut fungus Microbotryum violaceum.PMC2728877Votintseva AAFilatov DAfalseEvolutionary strata in a small mating-type-specific region of the smut fungus Microbotryum violaceum.DNA sequence analysis and genetic mapping of loci from mating-type-specific chromosomes of the smut fungus Microbotryum violaceum demonstrated that the nonrecombining mating-type-specific region in this species comprises approximately 25% ( approximately 1 Mb) of the chromosome length.
