title: The ebb and flow of a fungal genome.
abstract: Transposable DNA elements have only recently been described in a few species of filamentous fungi, but may be more abundant than previously believed. Several different elements have been isolated from the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea. The distribution and amplification of these elements suggest a potential role in the evolution of the fungal genome.
