Repeat-Induced Point Mutation and Gene Conversion Coinciding with Heterochromatin Shape the Genome of a Plant-Pathogenic Fungus

Repeat-Induced Point Mutation and Gene Conversion Coinciding with Heterochromatin Shape the Genome of a Plant-Pathogenic Fungus

ABSTRACT Meiosis is associated with genetic changes in the genome—via recombination, gene conversion, and mutations. The occurrence of gene conversion and mutations during meiosis may further be influenced by the chromatin conformation, similar to the effect of the chromatin conformation on the mito...
