Evolution of genomic architecture of the plant-pathogenic fungus Alternaria revealed by comparative analyses of 12 chromosome-level assemblies
has a conserved, stable genomic architecture yet retains evolutionarily dynamic regions localized to chromosomal termini. These gapless genomes provide a framework to support further studies on chromosomal evolution and pathogenicity-related diversification in this economically important fungal group.
