@LoreAment I have the sequences, and I have permission from the author to share these with you. She assures me they have also been submitted to GenBank, but not released yet. Maybe you can send me an email address and I will send them to you?

[Markus Wilken @WilkenMarkus]

@LoreAment I got hold of those sequences as well, but the first author (Jieqiong Li) did confirm the two MAT1-2-12 genes are not homologous. So I think you will be on firm ground going for MAT1-2-14. Looking forward to your paper!

[Markus Wilken @WilkenMarkus]

@LoreAment and your gene MAT1-2-14. I know both authors from the MAT1-2-12 papers, and will check the sequences for homology as well. But I suspect you are right and they will not be homologous. /3

@LoreAment Also, many MAT loci are described from genome sequences, and the actual MAT loci never make it to GenBank. So even checking there can be pointless. I would suggest you set the record straight in your paper. So call one gene MAT1-2-12, the other MAT1-2-13, /2
