Taxonomic vs genomic fungi: contrasting evolutionary loss of protistan genomic heritage and emergence of fungal novelties

Z. Merenyi, K. Krizsan, N. Sahu, X.-B. Liu, B. Balint, J. Stajich, J. W. Spatafora, L. G. Nagy

This study analyzes gene family evolution across 123 fungal and related genomes to show gradual protist gene loss and episodic innovation in early fungal evolution.

Lessons on fruiting body morphogenesis from genomes and transcriptomes of Agaricomycetes

L. G. Nagy, P. J. Vonk, M. Kunzler, C. Foldi, M. Viragh, R. A. Ohm, F. Hennicke, B. Balint, A. Csernetics, B. Hegedus, Z. Hou, X.-b. Liu, S. Nan, M. Pareek, N. Sahu, , Z. Merenyi

This paper identifies 921 conserved genes involved in fruiting body morphogenesis across Agaricomycetes fungi and proposes functional hypotheses for many of them.

Gene age predicts the transcriptional landscape of sexual morphogenesis in multicellular fungi

Z. Merenyi, M. Viragh, E. Gluck-Thaler, J. C. Slot, B. Kiss, T. Varga, A. Geosel, B. Hegedus, B. Balint, L. G. Nagy

The paper shows that gene age predicts transcriptional patterns during sexual morphogenesis in multicellular fungi, with younger genes showing more expression variation and functional specialization.

Hallmarks of basidiomycete soft- and white-rot in wood-decay -omics data of Armillaria

N. Sahu, Z. Merenyi, B. Balint, B. Kiss, G. Sipos, R. Owens, L. G. Nagy

This study compares transcriptomic and proteomic data of two Armillaria species to understand their wood-decay mechanisms, finding that saprotrophic A. cepistipes shows more extensive changes than pathogenic A. ostoyae.

Unmatched level of molecular convergence among deeply divergent complex multicellular fungi

Z. Merenyi, A. N. Prasanna, W. Zheng, K. Kovacs, B. Hegedus, B. Balint, B. Papp, J. P. Townsend, L. G. Nagy

The paper shows that genes for complex multicellularity have converged across distant fungal clades, indicating genomic constraints on evolutionary paths.

Comparative genomics reveals the origin of fungal hyphae and multicellularity

E. Kiss, B. Hegedis, T. Varga, Z. Merenyi, T. Koszo, B. Balint, A. N. Prasanna, K. Krizsan, M. Riquelme, N. Takeshita, L. G. Nagy

This study uses comparative genomics to show that fungal hyphae evolved through gene co-option and limited diversification, contrasting with other multicellular lineages.
