Stress-Induced Loss of Heterozygosity in <italic toggle="yes">Candida</italic>: a Possible Missing Link in the Ability to Evolve

ABSTRACT Diploid organisms are buffered against the effects of mutations by carrying two sets of each gene, which allows compensation if one is mutated. But recombination between “mom” and “dad” chromosomes causes loss of heterozygosity (LOH), stretches of “mom-only” or “dad-only” DNA sequence, sudd...
