Starships have officially launched 🚀 We found a new group of giant mobile elements (think ~100kb) that have been churning through fungal genomes for millions of years. And they bring along plenty of host genes for the ride 👀 so proud of this cross-continent collaborative effort

Very happy to share our work on how structural variation contributes to trait variation across populations of a fungal barley pathogen

[1/6]🧵 How do fungicides shape the genetic landscape of crop pathogens? #pgg55#pggflash. Our study aims to unravel the evolutionary trajectory of fungicide resistance of Zymoseptoria tritici in Europe. Supervisors @DanielCroll Gabriel Scalliet

So happy to see our paper out in Molecular Ecology where we investigated the population genetics of adaptation through copy number variation in a fungal plant pathogen! Big thanks to @OggenfussUrsula, Norfarhan Mohd-Assa’ad and @danielcroll! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

D-USYS@ETH Northwestern The population genetics of adaptation through copy number variation in a fungal plant pathogen By Luzia Stalder, @OggenfussUrsula, Norfarhan Mohd-Assa’ad and @danielcroll Edited by Tatiana Giraud onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Luzia Stalder from @danielcroll's groupe Université Neuchâtel presenting her work on cross-kingdom Interactions between #Zymoseptoria tritici and the phylosphere #microbiota at #ISME18 ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology

Love seeing the connection to soil by Luzia Stalder, who is examining the effects of interkingdom interactions on disease outcomes in wheat fields at a high resolution

Cross-kingdom interactions among different strains of Zymoseptoria and Psuedomonas in Wheat phyllosphere. Excellent talk by ⁦Luzia Stalder⁩ at #ISME18

Unfortunately I missed Luzia Stalder talk ☹️

Luzia Stalder is now taking us through how she used highly multiplexed 3-kb amplicons to gather strain-level resolution of the bacterial and fungal microbiome. #PacBio #PBdiscoveries

@danielcroll Luzia Stalder This is a great piece of work with immediate applicability! Congrats Luzia Stalder

So happy to see your work published Luzia Stalder . This is brilliant. My most sincere congratulations!

Exciting News✨ Our paper on the Galápagos expedition is now published in Nature Microbiology 🚢Exploring soil & plant microbiomes: do they evolve like the iconic Scalesia? Island-specific microbes? Boosting plant resilience? Eco-restoration? Let's find out⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4156…
