FUNGAL GENETICS AND BIOLOGY, 44(10), 1050–1064.

By: Y. Meng *, G. Patel *, M. Heist*, M. Betts*, S. Tucker*, N. Galadima*, N. Donofrio n, D. Brown n ...

author keywords: agrobacterium-mediated transformation; insertional mutagenesis; inverse PCR
MeSH headings : 3' Flanking Region; 5' Flanking Region; Agrobacterium tumefaciens / genetics; Chromosomes, Fungal; DNA, Bacterial / analysis; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Genome, Fungal; Magnaporthe / genetics; Mutagenesis, Insertional; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid; Transformation, Genetic
TL;DR: Analysis of random T-DNA insertions that were generated as part of a large-scale insertional mutagenesis project for Magnaporthe oryzae found that the distribution of T- DNA inserts among the M.Oryzae chromosomes was not random and significant insertion bias was detected.
