Defining Transgene Insertion Sites and Off-Target Effects of Homology-Based Gene Silencing Informs the Application of Functional Genomics Tools in Phytophthora infestans

DNA transformation and homology-based transcriptional silencing are frequently used to assess gene function in Phytophthora spp. Since unplanned side-effects of these tools are not well-characterized, we used P. infestans to study plasmid integration sites and whether knockdowns caused by homology-d...
