“…These resources are ripe for further analysis and functional dissection on a genetic and genomic level. While systematic analyses have yet to be performed, more and more tools are becoming available, including genome sequences for Trametes villosa (a source of lignindegrading enzymes such as laccase and manganese peroxidase), Tremella yokohamensis, and Tremella fuciformis [135,136]. The availability of these resources, combined with further sequencing efforts, will allow for extensive comparative genomic analysis.…”

Transcriptional regulation is vital for organismal survival, with many layers and mechanisms collaborating to balance gene expression. One layer of this regulation is genome organization, specifically the clustering of functionally related, co-expressed genes along the chromosomes. Spatial organization allows for position effects to stabilize RNA expression and balance transcription, which can be advantageous for a number of reasons, including reductions in stochastic influences between the gene products. The organization of co-regulated gene families into functional clusters occurs extensively in Ascomycota fungi. However, this is less characterized within the related Basidiomycota fungi despite the many uses and applications for the species within this clade. This review will provide insight into the prevalence, purpose, and significance of the clustering of functionally related genes across Dikarya, including foundational studies from Ascomycetes and the current state of our understanding throughout representative Basidiomycete species.
