Created using ChatSlide
Explore transposable elements known as Starships in fungi using advanced genomic methods like long sequencing and the Starfish tool. The study identifies 41 such elements in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, revealing active transposition and cargo genes associated with pathogenic traits. Functional analysis highlights virulence indicators and hypothesized roles of unknown genes, providing insights into fungal adaptation and implications for disease management. Future research is proposed to deepen...
