Genetic transformation of Spizellomyces punctatus, a resource for studying chytrid biology and evolutionary cell biology
Chytrids are early-diverging fungi that share features with animals that have been lost in most other fungi. They hold promise as a system to study fungal and animal evolution, but we lack genetic tools for hypothesis testing. Here, we generated transgenic lines of the chytrid Spizellomyces punctatu...
