Description
Minghan Yang and a team of co-authors build full genomes for two Coprinellus mushrooms, in a paper dated twenty twenty-six. These fungi live on rotting plant matter, yet full chromosome maps for the group were scarce. The team combined long reads, short reads, chromosome contact data, and gene activity data.
Each genome came out as thirteen unbroken chromosomes with all twenty-six ends found. The two genomes measured about forty-seven and fifty-five million letters. The larger one owed its size mostly to more jumping gene copies. Family trees placed each species near a known relative, with splits dated to the Paleogene era. Gene family growth differed by line.
