In this exciting paper, via a comparative genomics approach, differences amongst several Fusarium species were discovered to result from small, dispensable chromosomes that are horizontally transferred between species and define host specificity.
In this study, Ma and colleagues sequenced and compared the genomes of F. verticillioides...
