Harbouring Starships: the accumulation of large horizontal gene transfers in domesticated and pathogenic fungi

S. O'Donnell, G. Rezende, J.-P. Vernadet, A. Snirc, J. Ropars

This study investigates the role of Starships, large horizontal gene transfers, in domesticated and pathogenic fungi, finding increased Starship content in strains from human-associated environments.
