Our new #butterfly🦋 #evolution paper is finally out in Science Advances. "Evidence for a single, ancient origin of a genus-wide alternative life history strategy": science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #Butterflies🦋 #Color #AncientPolymorphisms #introgression #CRISPR🧵🧵🧵

Just beautiful...

Thanks #CRISPR, Thanks #KODAK Deadly mushroom poison might now have an antidote — with help from CRISPR nature.com/articles/d4158…

“Taxonomic” and “genomic fungi” are in mismatch; early diverging fungi closer to unicellular protists in gene content than to Dikarya. A chapter closed in our lab with this NatureEcoEvo paper. #1000FungalGenomes Project. Thread, 1/n. rdcu.be/dfbNL

NEW PUBLICATION! I am thrilled to share our latest publication on Nature Cell Biology, addressing how a single pioneer factor, #SOX9, switches epidermal stem cell fate to a hair follicle and later a basal cell carcinoma fate. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Yayy Armillaria!🍄🌲 HGT, unusual wood decay, forest pathogens, and even glowing in the dark! 🌟I'm convinced the next sci-fi should feature this fascinating genus! #Genomics #Fungi #Armillaria #wooddecay #ssps #effectors #hgt #plantpathogens

I'm thrilled to share part of my PhD work online today in #BioRxV 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… How filamentous fungi regulate plant infection? Here we investigated the phosphorylation changes occurring in the blast fungus during early infection development (1/9)

Beautiful image, beautiful story elifesciences.org/digests/83005/…

This is a very thoughtful and important commentary on how potential improvements to crop yields should be investigated, tested and reported. nature.com/articles/d4158…

New preprint by Csenge Földi et al reporting snowball-like mushroom morphologies in KO mutants of a novel gene family. SNB1 is real #darkmatter in the proteome: no annotation, no known domains. But a large morphogenetic effect. BRC Biochem biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

AMF genomes can be "jam-packed" with Transposable elements (TE) that drive genome biology and regulation in many organisms. The talented Jordana Oliveira now determines TE diversity and regulation in multiple 9 model strains using curated datasets. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Contamination in published genomes is widespread. We present a new HGT-aware tool for decontamination, ContScout, published in Nature Communications. Idea and development by Balazs Balint, with key contributions from SysBio-Szeged, Joint Genome Institute, NERSC, #FICUS datascience. 1/n rdcu.be/dxwIF

Journal of Biogeography | Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jb… Always exciting to learn how species migrate during the long geological history!

We have 1000s of fungal genomes, but few are really well-annotated. #Longread transcript sequencing dramatically improved annotations in Coprinopsis, allowing new insights into fungal biology. By Botond Hegedus, thanks to Joint Genome Institute, BRC Biochem, Zsolt Boldogkői biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out here to explore the 100 most cited fungal genera! Happy to contribute the #Flammulina chapter together with Prof. Zhu L. Yang

Sporulation sounds so basic for fungi, but do we know its genetics? New preprint Zhihao Hou of BRC Biochem explores the transcriptional network of postmeiotic spore morphogenesis in mushrooms. Csenge Földi Hongli Wu Mate.Viragh Xiao-Bin Liu biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sporulation is one of the most fundamental traits of fungi, but do we know its genetics? We explore this in mushroom-forming fungi a new Current Biology paper Zhihao Hou, BRC Biochem. Csenge Földi Hongli Wu Mate.Viragh Xiao-Bin Liu sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
