Evidence of a likely translocation of the ToxA containing region between two races of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis facilitated Starship transposon ‘Horizon’. a The ToxA containing chromosome 6 of isolate Pt-1C-BFP (race 1) is compared with the ToxA containing contig 3 and contig 17 of isolate I-73–1 (race 8). Pt-1C-BFP chromosome 6 aligns almost completely to I-73–1 contig 17, with the exception of the ToxA containing region, which aligns to contig 3. The majority of contig 3 aligns to either Pt-1C-BFP chromosome 1 or chromosome 9 (Fig. 3). b Schematic of the ‘Horizon’ Starship (red gene = tyrosine recombinase; yellow = known Starship cargo genes; purple = ToxA gene; brown = annotated gene; black bar = gene with no known function)
