Ancestral and recent bursts of transposition shaped the massive genomes of plant pathogenic rust fungi
Our findings uncover extensive TE proliferation in Pucciniales, predominantly driven by LTR-Gypsy expansions. The retention of ancestral TEs and the consistently TE-rich genomes observed in Pucciniales highlight TE proliferation as an ancestral genomic feature in rust fungi.
