Comparative Phylogenomics Reveals Conserved Protoilludene Synthase Neighbourhoods and Unevenly Distributed Biosynthetic Gene Cluster Families in Armillaria

Fungal biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) offer a genomic entry point for natural-product discovery, but predicted regions alone neither establish pathway activity nor identify metabolites. Armillaria is a useful model because chemically rich, forest-associated species span pathogenic and saprotrophic lifestyles. We ana...
