ALT Figure 4. Starships mobilize adaptive traits and generate allelic diversity among Aspergillus fumigatus strains. Schematics and alignments of: A) Starship Lamia h2 and h4, which carry the BGC encoding the polyketide secondary metabolite Fumigermin B) Starship Gnosis h2 carrying the BGC encoding Fumihopaside A C) a large region on Chromosome 3 previously identified as an idiomorphic BGC containing multiple segregating Starship insertions and various combinations of putative BGCs D) D) Eight Starships in the reference strains Af293 and CEA10 that all carry homologs of biofilm architecture factor A (bafA). Starship Nebuchadnezzar h1 (Neb. h1) carries bafA as part of the HAAC (hrmA-associated gene cluster), while Starship navis10-var35 carries bafB as part of HBAC and Starship Osiris h3 carries bafC as part of HCAC.
