A yeast love triangle: multiple hybridizations shape genome evolution in the Pichia cactophila species complex.

V. Mixao, E. Saus, F. Hagen, T. Boekhout, R. Stevens, T. Gabaldon

The paper sequenced and compared genomes of yeast species in the Pichia cactophila complex to show recurrent hybridizations and propose new species classifications.

Co-evolution of Large inverted repeats and G-quadruplex DNA in fungal mitochondria may facilitate mitogenome stability: the case of Malassezia

A. C. Christinaki, B. Theelen, A. Zania, S. D. A. Coutinho, J. F. Cabanes, T. Boekhout, V. N. Kouvelis

This study analyzes Malassezia mitogenomes to explore the co-evolution of large inverted repeats and G-quadruplex DNA elements and their role in genome stability.

Multiple hybridization events punctuate the evolutionary trajectory of Malassezia furfur

B. Theelen, V. Mixao, G. Ianiri, J. P. Z. Goh, J. Dijksterhuis, J. Heitman, T. L. Dawson, T. Gabaldon, T. Boekhout

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

Mitogenomics and mitochondrial gene phylogeny decipher the evolution of Saccharomycotina yeasts

A. C. Christinaki, S. G. Kanellopoulos, A. M. Kortsinoglou, B. Theelen, T. Boekhout, V. N. Kouvelis

This study analyzes mitochondrial genomes of Saccharomycotina yeasts to uncover evolutionary patterns, finding that mt genome size diversity results from recombination and intron mobility, and divergence rates vary across yeast evolution.
