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