Recent reactivation of a pathogenicity-associated transposable element triggers major chromosomal rearrangements in a fungal wheat pathogen
2023-03-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Transposable elements (TEs) are key drivers of genomic variation contributing to recent adaptation in most species. Yet, the evolutionary origins and insertion dynamics within species remain poorly understood. We recapitulate the spread of the pathogenicity-associated Styx element across five species that last diverged ∼11,000 years ago. We show that the element likely originated in the Zymosep...
