Repeated loss of function at HD mating-type genes and of recombination suppression without mating-type locus linkage in anther-smut fungi

The paper shows that HD mating-type genes have lost function in three Microbotryum species, with PR genes controlling mating compatibility, and reports evolutionary strata from recombination suppression.
