Meiosis evolves: adaptation to external and internal environments
Meiosis is essential for the fertility of most eukaryotes and its structures and progression are
conserved across kingdoms. Yet many of its core proteins show evidence of rapid or …

Amoebozoans are secretly but ancestrally sexual: evidence for sex genes and potential novel crossover pathways in diverse groups of amoebae
Sex is beneficial in eukaryotes as it can increase genetic diversity, reshuffle their genomes,
and purge deleterious mutations. Yet, its evolution remains a mystery. The eukaryotic clade …
