Loss of centromere function drives karyotype evolution in closely related Malassezia species

Loss of centromere function drives karyotype evolution in closely related Malassezia species

Genomic rearrangements associated with speciation often result in variation in chromosome number among closely related species. Malassezia species show variable karyotypes ranging between six and nine chromosomes. Here, we experimentally identified all eight centromeres in M. sympodialis as 3–5-kb l...
