Frequent horizontal chromosome transfer between asexual fungal insect pathogens

2023-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Entire chromosomes are typically only transmitted vertically from one generation to the next. The horizontal transfer of such chromosomes has long been considered improbable, yet gained recent support in several pathogenic fungi where it may affect the fitness or host specificity. To date, it is unknown how these transfers occur, how common they are and whether they can occur between different species. In this stu...
