Distinct modes of sequence evolution and epigenetic modifications underpin the origins of <i>Starship</i> -mediated variation in <i>Pyricularia</i> fungal plant pathogens

2026-01-29

Abstract excerpt

Fungal pathogens display remarkable variation in genome content and organization that directly impacts their survival and host interactions. Although numerous models have been proposed to explain the origins of this variation, they generally fail to explain or predict the mechanisms that generate the genome variation observed in natural populations. Starships are a recently discovered group of giant fungal transp...
