Patterns of recombination suppression or enhancement associated with mating-type loci (MAT) of fungi. Recombination may be enhanced in association with the mating-type loci of fungi, through non-allelic mating-type switching or by allelic recombination hotspots. A “silent” MAT indicates a potentially coding region placed within a transcriptionally quiescent part of the genome. If these regions are recombined into the active parts they are functional. Recombination may be suppressed, in examples in the basidiomycetes in which the two sex-determination regions are linked and/or by linkage to the centromere.
