Examining the evolution of the regulatory circuit controlling secondary metabolism and development in the fungal genus Aspergillus.

Filamentous fungi produce diverse secondary metabolites (SMs) essential to their ecology and adaptation. Although each SM is typically produced by only a handful of species, global SM production is governed by widely conserved transcriptional regulators in conjunction with other cellular processes,...
