Assembling telomere-to-telomere genomes of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae provides a roadmap for studying genome and phenotype evolution

Abstract Background Accessory genome regions of plant pathogenic fungi, which are highly variable and consist of niche-adaptive genes, play a crucial role in shaping host-specific interactions but are notoriously difficult to assemble. Fusarium oxysporum causes some of the world’s most economically...
