In fungal genomes, as in many eukaryotic genomes, TEs can constitute a large fraction of the genome, e.g., 40% of the Pseudocercospora fijiensis genome (Ohm et al. 2012) and 64% of the Blumeria graminis genome (Spanu et al. 2010). TEs play an important role in the evolution of genomes, and in fungi they are shown to be responsible for large genomic rearrangements (Croll et al. 2013; de Jonge et al. 2013; Grandaubert et al. 2014) and for the creation of highly dynamic regions that provide accelerated diversification and chromatin-based regulation for genes within or near these regions (Rouxel et al. 2011; Soyer et al. 2014). An in-depth characterization of the complete TE repertoire of the four known Zymoseptoria species would allow detailed insights into the impact of repetitive DNA on the evolution of core as well as accessory chromosomes in these pathogens.","tracks":[]}
