Happy to share our work! 🍄🍇 Botrytis cinerea grapevine-specialized strains harbor a specific repertoire of transposons. While retrotransposon-derived small RNAs do not appear to play a significant role in virulence on grapevine, a new giant transposon—a #Starship— confers arsenic resistance.

Nicolas Lapalu et al. developed a new method to improve the prediction of eukaryotic genes and demonstrate its utility using the genome of the fungal wheat pathogen #Zymoseptoria tritici. Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-07-25-0077-TA

Single gene and polycistronic transcripts shown for reannotated gene models (RGMs) ZtIPO323_010430 and ZtIPO323_010440. RGMs ZtIPO323_010430 and ZtIPO323_010440, located at chr_1: 2692944...2694593 and chr_1: 2694544...2697087, respectively, were transcribed on the same strand with overlapping 3′ untranslated region (UTR) and 5′ UTR (red rectangle).
