Adaptive genomic compartments shaped by giant mobile elements underpin the ancient emergence of fungal pathogenicity

2026-05-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The emergence of new fungal pathogens often depends on the acquisition of complex adaptive traits, yet the mechanisms by which such traits arise remain poorly understood. Here we show that a biosynthetic gene cluster required for pathogenicity in the lupin pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lupini was acquired within a genomic region derived from a giant Starship transposable element. Comparativ...
