Deskripsi
Anurag Chaturvedi et al. use long-read PacBio sequencing and LC-MS to profile 5mC and 6mA DNA methylation in the model arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, Rhizophagus irregularis. Their results suggest that R. irregularis shows methylation profiles distinct from other early-diverging fungi, and Dikarya and provide further insight into how these fungi may have adapted to form symbiotic relationships with important plant species.
