Evolution of silencing in the pre- and postduplication hemiascomycetes. The duplication of the OIR in the KOS3 ancestor corresponded with the whole-genome duplication of the ORC1/SIR3 ancestor. A simple prediction of the model was that Orc1 replaced Sir3 in heterochromatin from pregenome duplication species. Additional details are provided in the text.
