Altered patterns of gene duplication and differential gene gain and loss in fungal pathogens

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Duplication, followed by fixation or random loss of novel genes, contributes to genome evolution. Particular outcomes of duplication events are possibly associated with pathogenic life histories in fungi. To date, differential gene g...
