New insights into the evolution of subtilisin-like serine protease genes in Pezizomycotina

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Subtilisin-like serine proteases play an important role in pathogenic fungi during the penetration and colonization of their hosts. In this study, we perform an evolutionary analysis of the subtilisin-like serine protease genes of su...
