Li et al. generate chromosome-scale genome assemblies of the three nuclear types of the basidiomycetous fungi Rhizoctonia isolates. Genomic comparisons implicate that uninucleate genomes were hybrids derived potentially from binucleate ancestors, suggesting evolutionary changes of a recently derived hybrid and in multiple nuclear types of Rhizoctonia.
