- Genetic studies of higher organisms, including man, are based on the
analysis of segregation and recombination events resulting from se>.."Ual
reproduction. In 1962 Pontecorvo predicted, however, that cultured cells could
also be employed for this purpose. He suggested that parase::\"Ual events,
detected in certain fungi, might occur also in 11in vitro11 cultured cells. Now,
ten years later, there are strong indications that this prediction will indeed
come true.
