In mammals, male sex determination, as well as spermatogenesis, is controlled by genes on the Y chromosome. Evolutionary comparisons may be used to detect and test candidate genes for these functions, under the hypothesis that the rapid evolution of the mammalian Y chromosome causes it to contain fe
## Abstract The sexβdetermining genes of fungi reside at one or two specialised regions of the chromosome known as the mating type (__MAT__) loci. The genes are sufficient to determine haploid cell identity, enable compatible mating partners to attract each other, and prepare cells for sexual repro
