Evolutionary Origins of the Fumonisin Secondary Metabolite Gene Cluster in<i>Fusarium verticillioides</i>and<i>Aspergillus niger</i>
23 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
The secondary metabolite gene clusters of euascomycete fungi are among the largest known clusters of functionally related genes in eukaryotes. Most of these clusters are species specific or genus specific, and little is known about how they are formed during evolution. We used a comparative genomics approach to study the evolutionary origins of a secondary metabolite cluster that synthesizes a polyketide...
