Transcriptome analysis of smut fungi reveals widespread intergenic transcription and conserved antisense transcript expression

Transcriptome analysis of smut fungi reveals widespread intergenic transcription and conserved antisense transcript expression

Abstract Background Biotrophic fungal plant pathogens cause billions of dollars in losses to North American crops annually. The model for functional investigation of these fungi is Ustilago maydis. Its 20.5 Mb annotated genome sequence has been an excellent resource for investigating biotrophic plan...
