Polymorphism and evolutionary origins of accessory chromosomes in the basidiomycete Tremella fuciformis.

Accessory chromosomes are non-essential for growth but poorly characterized in basidiomycetes, unlike in Ascomycota. Here, we report whole-genome sequencing of 16 strains of the basidiomycete Tremella fuciformis (silver ear fungus), generating 27 complete haplotypes (5 monokaryons and 11 dikaryons, each contributing….
