Gene conversion restores selfing in experimentally evolving C. elegans populations with fog-2 loss-of-function mutation

We have discovered a new case of gene conversion restoring ability of self-fertilization in obligatory outcrossing Caenorhabditis elegans populations. The fog-2(q71) mutation, used to transform the nematodes’ mating system from mostly self-fertilization to obligatory outcrossing, was spontaneously r...
