Genomic analysis of Ancylistes closterii, an enigmatic alga parasitic fungus in the arthropod-associated Entomophthoromycotina

K. Seto, T. Y. James

This study sequenced the genome of Ancylistes closterii, an algal parasite, to determine its phylogenetic position and evolutionary traits within Zoopagomycota.

Reticulate evolution and rapid development of reproductive barriers upon secondary contact pose challenges for species delineation in a forest fungus

D. S. Lu, D. Peris, J. H. Sonstebo, T. Y. James, L. H. Rieseberg, S. Maurice, H. Kauserud, M. Ravinet, I. Skrede

This study investigates reproductive barriers in Trichaptum abietinum using population genomics and in vitro crosses, finding pre-mating barriers correlated with genomic divergence and hybrid fitness linked to increasing divergence.

Discovery of an endogenous DNA virus in the amphibian killing fungus and its association with pathogen genotype and virulence

R. Clemons, M. Yacoub, E. Faust, L. F. Toledo, T. S. Jenkinson, T. Carvalho, D. R. Simmons, E. Kalinka, L. K. Fritz-Laylin, T. Y. James, J. E. Stajich

The paper identifies a DNA virus in the amphibian-killing fungus Bd and links its presence to reduced host growth and increased virulence.

Human commensal Candida albicans strains demonstrate substantial within-host diversity and retained pathogenic potential

F. M. Anderson, N. Visser, K. Amses, A. Hodgins-Davis, A. M. Weber, K. M. Metzner, M. J. McFadden, R. E. Mills, M. J. O'Meara, T. Y. James, T. R. OMeara

The paper examines genetic and phenotypic diversity in commensal Candida albicans strains from healthy donors and shows they retain pathogenic potential.

A genome-scale phylogeny of Fungi; insights into early evolution, radiations, and the relationship between taxonomy and phylogeny

Y. Li, J. L. Steenwyk, Y. Chang, Y. Wang, T. Y. James, J. E. Stajich, J. W. Spatafora, M. Groenewald, C. Dunn, C. T. Hittinger, X.-X. Shen, A. Rokas

The paper constructs a genome-scale fungal phylogeny using 1,644 species and multiple data matrices, finding robust relationships and identifying taxonomic discrepancies.

Psychoactive plant- and mushroom-associated alkaloids from two behavior modifying cicada pathogens

G. Boyce, E. Gluck-Thaler, J. C. Slot, J. E. Stajich, W. J. Davis, T. Y. James, J. R. Cooley, D. G. Panaccione, J. Eilenberg, H. H. De Fine Licht, A. M. Macias, M. C. Berger, K. L. Wickert, C. M. Stauder, E. J. Spahr, , M. T. Kasson

The paper identifies psychoactive alkaloids in cicada pathogens, suggesting chemical-induced behavioral modification to enhance spore dispersal.
