摘要：
The experimental introduction of DIVA in fungi has revealed a variety of gene inactivation strategies triggered in response to the presence of homologous nucleic acid sequences. These homology effects reveal distinct classes of gene inactivation resulting from hypermutation or relying on regulatory mechanisms that operate at either the transcriptional or the post-transcriptional level.
