Two-speed genome expansion drives the evolution of pathogenicity in animal fungal pathogens

2021-11-04

Abstract excerpt

The origins of virulence in amphibian-infecting chytrids Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ( Bsal) are largely unknown. Here, we use deep nanopore sequencing of Bsal and comparative genomics against 21 high-quality genome assemblies that span the fungal Chytridiomycota. Bsal has the most repeat-rich genome, comprising 40.9% repetitive elements, which has expanded to...
