The recent analysis by de la Torre, Daleo and Garcı́a-Mata of the reply of Bohr to the famous clock-in-the-box challenge of Einstein is criticized. Recently, de la Torre, Daleo and Garcı́a-Mata (TDG) [1] have subjected to a ‘careful and irreverent’ analysis the arguments of Einstein and Bohr in their dialogue concerning the famous clock-in-the-box gedanken experiment devised by Einstein in an att...

Interspecific and intervarietal hybridization may contribute to the biological diversity of fungal populations. Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic yeast and the most common fungal cause of meningitis in patients with AIDS. Most patients are infected with either of the two varieties of C. neoformans, designated as serotype A (C. neoformans var. grubii) or serotype D (C. neoformans var. neof...

Homeodomain proteins control the developmental transition between the haploid and diploid phases in several eukaryotic lineages, but it is not known whether this regulatory mechanism reflects the ancestral condition or, instead, convergent evolution. We have characterized the mating-type locus of the amoebozoan Dictyostelium discoideum, which encodes two pairs of small proteins that determine t...

It has long been known that diploid strains of yeast are more resistant to 7-rays than haploid cells, and that this is in part due to heterozygosity at the mating type (MAT) locus. It is shown here that the genetic control exerted by the MAT genes on DNA repair involves the a1 and a2 genes, in a R M E l independent way. In rad18 diploids, affected in the error-prone repair, the a/a effects are ...

The lack of an experimentally amenable sexual genetic system in Aspergillus fumigatus is a major limitation in the study of the organism's pathogenesis. A recent comparative genome analysis revealed evidence for potential sexuality in A. fumigatus. Homologs of mating type genes as well as other genes of the "sexual machinery" have been identified in anamorphic A. fumigatus. The mat1-2 gene enco...
