Duplication of a Pks gene cluster and subsequent functional diversification facilitate environmental adaptation in Metarhizium species.
The ecological importance of the duplication and diversification of gene clusters that synthesize secondary metabolites in fungi remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the duplication and subsequent diversification of a gene cluster produced two polyketide synthase gene clusters in th...
