We dive into the dynamics of #starships 🚀 in a fungal pathogen to ask: how might these giant #transposons impact human health? We find they drive genome-wide variation, encode clinically-relevant traits and even transpose within the same strain! 🍄🧪 out today in mBio #goteam doi.org/10.1128/mbio...
No “one size fits all” option exists for treating fungal infections in large part
due to genetic and phenotypic variability among strains. Accounting for strain heterogeneity
is thus fundamental for d...
