Open AccessPhytophthora methylomes are modulated by 6mA methyltransferases and associated with adaptive genome regions
Filamentous plant pathogen genomes often display a bipartite architecture with gene-sparse, repeat-rich compartments serving as a cradle for adaptive evolution. The extent to which this two-speed genome archit...
