Many species of fungi and oomycetes are plant pathogens of great economic importance.
Over the past 7 years, the genomes of more than 30 of these filamentous plant pathogens …

The genus Colletotrichum comprises species with different lifestyles but is mainly known for
phytopathogenic species that infect crops of agronomic relevance causing considerable …

Genes in prokaryotic genomes are often arranged into clusters and co-transcribed into
polycistronic RNAs. Isolated examples of polycistronic RNAs were also reported in some …

Mobile DNA, comprising both active and decaying copies of transposable elements (TEs), is
present in nearly all living organisms. Although fungal genomes tend to be significantly …

Transposable elements (TEs) are exceptional contributors to eukaryotic genome diversity.
Their ubiquitous presence impacts the genomes of nearly all species and mediates genome …

Rhizoctonia solani is a soil-borne basidiomycete fungus with a necrotrophic lifestyle which is
classified into fourteen reproductively incompatible anastomosis groups (AGs). One of these …

Ustilago hordei is a biotrophic parasite of barley (Hordeum vulgare). After seedling infection,
the fungus persists in the plant until head emergence when fungal spores develop and are …

Abstract Background The fungal genus Sporothrix includes at least four human pathogenic
species. One of these species, S. brasiliensis, is the causal agent of a major ongoing …

Smut fungi are plant pathogens mostly parasitizing wild species of grasses as well as
domesticated cereal crops. Genome analysis of several smut fungi including Ustilago …

We present a novel method to measure the local GC-content bias in genomes and a survey
of published fungal species. The method, enacted as “OcculterCut”(https://sourceforge …
