With the advent of high-throughput sequencing, the genomes of many economically important filamentous fungal and oomycete plant pathogens have been sequenced, revealing a trend in several lineages for repeat driven expansion. Sylvain Raffaele and Sophien Kamoun review the genomic features of these pathogens, with a particular focus on genome structure and plasticity.
