Wanted - papers on the origin of meiosis and diploidy

One of the students in the Intro Bio course I am teaching at UC Davis is interested in papers on the origin of meiosis and/or the origin of diploidy.  Some papers I have pulled up so far include:


  • A Phylogenomic Inventory of Meiotic Genes:: Evidence for Sex in Giardia and an Early Eukaryotic Origin of Meiosis
  • Origins of the machinery of recombination and sex
  • Using a meiosis detection toolkit to investigate ancient asexual "scandals" and the evolution of sex.
  • Primitive forms of meiosis: the possible evolution of meiosis.
  • Recombination and the evolution of diploidy.
  • Transition from haploidy to diploidy.
  • Self-fertilization and the evolution of recombination.
  • Haploidy or diploidy: which is better?
  • Somatic mutation favors the evolution of diploidy.

Suggestions for others would be welcome.
