Abstract

Comparisons of draft genome sequences of three geographically distinct isolates of Fusariumfujikuroi with two recently published genome sequences from the same species suggest diverseprofiles of secondary metabolite production within F. fujikuroi. Species- and lineage-specific genes,many of which appear to exhibit expression profiles that are consistent with roles in host-pathogeninteractions and adaptation to environmental changes, are concentrated in sub-telomeric regions.These genomic compartments also exhibit distinct gene densities and compositional characteristicswith respect to other genomic partitions, and likely play a role in the generation of moleculardiversity. Our data provide additional evidence that gene duplication, divergence and differentialloss play important roles in F. fujikuroi genome evolution and suggest that hundreds of lineagespecific genes might have been acquired through horizontal gene transfer.
