High levels of mitotic gene conversion are needed to effectively purge deleterious mutations in asexual organisms

Dominik Kopčak, Matthew Hartfield

This study investigates how mitotic gene conversion can purge deleterious mutations in asexual organisms and compares its effectiveness to self-fertilisation.

A single locus carrying modified oogenesis genes underlies the switch to asexuality in Artemia brine shrimp

Marwan Elkrewi, Dominik Kopčak, Ariana Macon, Beatriz Viçoso

This study identifies two oogenesis genes on the Z chromosome as potential drivers of asexuality in Artemia brine shrimp by combining single-nucleus RNAseq and whole-genome sequencing.
