Deskripsi

Mating of Candida albicans produces tetraploid products that return to the diploid state via a non-meiotic process known as concerted chromosome loss (CCL). Here, Anderson et al. show high recombination rates during CCL and identify factors that are essential for chromosome stability and recombination during CCL.
