Highlights Alternative splicing has been implicated in the regulation of a variety of genes Intron retention is the most frequent alternative splicing event in fungi We critically identified the gaps in the role of alternative splicing in fungi We proposed a practical roadmap to fill these gaps. ABSTRACT Assigning mechanistic and functional associations to most of the widespread splicing diversity in fungi has been one of the continuous and most intriguing challenges in the f
