Starships form a recently discovered superfamily of giant transposons in Pezizomycotina fungi, implicated mediating horizontal transfer diverse cargo genes between fungal genomes. Their elusive nature has long obscured their significance, and impact on genome evolution remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal surprising abundance diversity the phytopathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae. Remarkably, dominate plastic genomic compartments involved host colonization, are enriched...
