Recombination and transposition drive genomic structural variation potentially impacting life history traits in a host-generalist fungal plant pathogen
Transposons and recombination make distinct contributions to SV diversity in S. sclerotiorum. Despite limited gene content diversity, SVs may strongly impact phenotypic variability. This sheds light on the genomic forces shaping adaptive flexibility in host generalists.
