This study identifies multiple hybridization events in Malassezia furfur through comparative genomics and reveals a pseudobipolar mating system.

This study identifies a novel mycovirus in Malassezia that alters transcriptional profiles and induces interferon-β in macrophages, suggesting potential implications for fungal pathogenicity.

This study identifies bacterially-derived flavohemoglobin in Malassezia, acquired via horizontal gene transfer, as essential for nitric oxide resistance and host interaction.

This study uses genetic tools to analyze live-cell nuclear and actin dynamics in the chytrid Spizellomyces punctatus, revealing rapid life cycle stages and actin reorganization during development.

This study uses Agrobacterium-mediated mutagenesis and CRISPR/Cas9 to identify gene functions in Malassezia furfur by generating and characterizing mutants under stress conditions.
