Abstract
Recent Advances in Understanding Yeast Genetics of Sex Determination
Highlights
Sex determination is among the most fascinating areas of study in modern genetics and encompasses many topics, such as developmental mechanisms, behaviour, sex chromosome biology, population evolution and diversity
The recent advent of inexpensive sequence information and other new tools has led to notable advances in our understanding of reproductive mechanisms over a broad range of species, revealing that genetic sex determination occurs in different ways with a myriad of outcomes in yeast
All yeast species in the Hemiascomycetes lineage exist in three cell types: the mating competent a and α haploid cells and the product of their mating, the meiosis competent a/α cell diploid [1]
Summary
Sex determination is among the most fascinating areas of study in modern genetics and encompasses many topics, such as developmental mechanisms, behaviour, sex chromosome biology, population evolution and diversity. The recent advent of inexpensive sequence information and other new tools has led to notable advances in our understanding of reproductive mechanisms over a broad range of species, revealing that genetic sex determination occurs in different ways with a myriad of outcomes in yeast.
