All authors of the present paper have worked in labs that participated to the sequencing effort of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae reference genome, and we owe to this the fact that we have all chosen to work on genomics of yeasts. S. cerevisiae has been a popular model species for genetics since the 20th century as well as being a model for...

Sex chromosomes in plants and animals and fungal mating-type chromosomes often show exceptional genome features, with extensive suppression of homologous recombination and cytological differentiation between members of the diploid chromosome pair. Despite strong interest in the genetics of these chromosomes, their large regions of suppressed...
