The expression landscape and pangenome of long non-coding RNA in the fungal wheat pathogen <i>Zymoseptoria tritici</i>.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules interacting in a wide array of biological processes. lncRNAs in fungal pathogens can be responsive to stress and play roles in regulating growth and nutrient acquisition. Recent evidence suggests that lncRNAs may also play roles in virulence, such as regulating pathogenicity-associated enzymes and on-host reproductive cycles. Despite the importance of lncRNAs, only a few model fungi have well-documented inventories of lncRNA. In this study, we apply a recent computational pipeline to predict high-confidence lncRNA candidates in Zymoseptoria tritici, an important global pathogen of wheat impacting global food production. We analyse genomic features of lncRNAs and the most likely associated processes through analyses of expressio
