Abstract excerpt
Phased telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assemblies are revolutionizing our understanding of long-hidden genome biology "dark matter" such as centromeres, rDNA repeats, inter-haplotype variation, and allele-specific expression (ASE), yet insights into dikaryotic fungi that separate their haploid genomes into distinct nuclei are limited. Here, we explore the impact of dikaryotism on the genome biology of a...
