title: Generation or multiple genetic specificities: origin of genetic polymorphism through gene regulation.
abstract: Based on results of mutation studies in the fungus Schizophyllum commune, a new mechanism of the origin of genetic polymorphism is proposed. This may explain the intractable problems of the rise of multiple allelism controlling incompatibility in plants and the wide array of antibody diversity controlling immunity reaction in animals.
