Harbouring <i>Starships</i> : The accumulation of large Horizontal Gene Transfers in Domesticated and Pathogenic Fungi

2024-07-05

Abstract excerpt

Human-related environments, including food and clinical settings, present microorganisms with atypical and challenging conditions that necessitate adaptation. Several cases of novel horizontally acquired genetic material associated with adaptive traits have been recently described, contained within giant transposons named Starships. While a handful of Starships have been identified in domesticated species, their...
