Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a homology-based process that mutates repetitive
DNA and frequently leads to epigenetic silencing of the mutated sequences through DNA …

▪ Abstract The past 10 years have been productive in the characterization of fungal
transposable elements (TEs). All eukaryotic TEs described are found including an …

For the first time in over 20 years, a comprehensive collection of photographs and
descriptions of species in the fungal genus Fusarium is available. This laboratory manual …

Background The plant-pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) has
accessory, lineage-specific (LS) chromosomes that can be transferred horizontally between …

Although evidence for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in eukaryotes remains largely
anecdotal, literature on HGT in fungi suggests that it may have been more important in the …

Background Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a fungal-specific genome defence
mechanism that alters the sequences of repetitive DNA, thereby inactivating coding genes …

Plant diseases caused by plant pathogenic fungi continuously threaten the sustainability of
global crop production. An effective way to study the disease-causing mechanisms of these …

The notion that the structure and behavior of an organism are determined primarily by the
structure and behavior of the organism's genome is well accepted. Lamarckism aside, it is …

Repeat‐induced point mutation (RIP) is a process that detects DNA duplications and
peppers their sequences with C: G to T: A transitions in the sexual phase of the life cycle. So …

Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a form of genome mutation that is targeted towards
repeated DNA sequences and which is observed only in certain fungal taxa; the …
