Project description:So as to compare fungal mating-type chromosomes across a range of Microbotryum species, comparative genomics analyses were conducted, and were informed by RNASeq data. In this instance, different stages of the lifecycle of M. violaceum infecting D. pavonius were compared via RNASeq.
Project description:Recombination suppression on fungal mating-type chromosomes without mating-type loci linkage and with loss of function of HD mating-type genes
