Genome Dynamics and Chromosome Structural Variations in Histoplasma ohiense, a fungal pathogen of humans

Sarah Heater, Mark Voorhies, Anita Sil

This study presents the first telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies for Histoplasma ohiense and identifies genome plasticity, including translocations and transposon activity, in clinical isolates.
