Epistasis limits but does not prevent the transfer of mutation-drug resistance mapping across 600 million years of fungal evolution

Marie-Ève Picard, Romain Durand, Alexandre K. Dubé, Soham Dibyachintan, Alicia Pageau, Philippe C Després, Emilie M. M. Alexander, Jordan Grenier, Rong Shi, Christian R. Landry

The paper shows that resistance mutations to antifungal drugs are conserved across fungal species but epistasis limits their transferability.

Predictable adaptive evolution of a phage endolysin through substrate recognition optimization

Xiaojun Zhu, Vincent Somerville, Rong Shi, Rojo V. Rakotoharisoa, Roberto A. Chica, Sylvain Moineau, Frank Oechslin

This study shows how endolysins adapt predictably through mutations that enhance substrate recognition, despite functional trade-offs and some variability in evolutionary paths.
