Starship discovery reveals new frontiers of fungal genome evolution
New insights into large mobile fungal genome elements, called Starships, have revealed more about how they jump between fungal species and influence their evolution.

Our recent paper is out where we propose kmer-based phylogenetics for fungal Starship TEs (which are unalignable as highly variable). We think it could help with spotting bonafide HGT events (and suggest direction of transfer?)
