Description
Yinwei You and co-authors read the genome of a locust-killing fungus in a 2024 study. The strain, named XJ1, kills locusts fast, a rare trait in its genus. Locusts wreck crops world wide, so a fungus that hunts them has farm worth. The team built the strain's full genome: 37.9 million bases, 11,720 genes, on eight strands. They set it next to kin genomes to place it in the family tree.
The tree put XJ1 next to a known mold strain, not next to its namesake kind. It holds 704 genes no kin carries. Its strand layout also shifts from both near kin. The authors say XJ1 may be its own species, set apart at the genome level. Gene-based class work may gain from the read, they note.
