Effect of afpb gene disruption in the expression profile of P. digitatum PHI26 strain (CECT 20796)

The potential biological function of PdAfpB antifungal protein in the producer fungus is still unknown. The goal of this study was to evaluate the transcriptomic changes in P. digitatum PHI26 strain (CECT 20796) when the afpb codifying gene is disrupted. For this we have conducted an RNA-Seq analysis to compare the differentially expressed genes between the wild-type strain and the afpb null mutant PDMG122 Comparative gene expression profiling of RNA-seq data for PHI26 parental strain (wild-type) and the afpb null strain PDMG122 (four biological replicates per strain)
