The paper analyzes genomic changes in mini-chromosomes of wheat blast fungal pathogens over time, showing their dynamic presence, sequence alterations, and role in pathogen adaptation.

The paper investigates genomic plasticity in Magnaporthe oryzae by analyzing supernumerary mini-chromosomes and their structural variations.

This study uses Bi-LSTM models to detect mini-chromosomes in M. oryzae strains, finding their prevalence increased in recent wheat strains.

The paper investigates genetic relationships among Magnaporthe oryzae isolates causing wheat blast outbreaks in Bangladesh and Zambia, finding that outbreaks were caused by genetically distinct isolates with divergent mini-chromosomes.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of maize inbred line A188 and identifies structural variations and gene expression differences compared to the reference line B73.

This study introduces KAD, a method to estimate base errors and assess genome assembly quality by comparing k-mer abundance from short reads and assembled sequences.

The paper reports the genome of a wheat blast fungus, revealing dispensable mini-chromosomes containing effector genes that evolve rapidly and contribute to pathogen adaptation.
