Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accessory genome regions of plant pathogenic fungi, which are highly variable and consist of niche-adaptive genes, play a crucial role in shaping host-specific interactions but are notoriously difficult to assemble. Fusarium oxysporum causes some of the world’s most economically devasting diseases, however, understanding how it interacts with its host is hindered by challenges in assembly of accessory...
