Models for the emergence of the founder isolate of the Pgt Ug99 lineage. a A somatic hybridisation event and nuclear exchange occurred between an isolate of the Pgt 21 lineage and an unknown Pgt isolate. The combination of nuclei A and C yielded the parental isolate of the Ug99 lineage in Africa. Under this scenario, nucleus A of Ug99 is entirely derived from nucleus A in Pgt21-0. b Alternatively, sexual reproduction and mating between these two parental isolates defined the origin of the Ug99 lineage. Under this scenario, meiotic recombination and chromosome reassortment would result in the Pgt21-0-derived A nucleus of Ug99 being composed of a mosaic of the two haploid nuclear genomes of Pgt21-0 (X and Y)
