This paper establishes a haploid yeast strain collection to study ecological and reproductive divergence in wild S. cerevisiae, finding that structural genomic variation and metabolic gene divergence drive these traits.

The paper examines fungal community composition across contiguous habitats in tropical forests, finding that spatial scale and habitat influence assembly processes differently, with deterministic and stochastic factors shaping communities in leaves/twigs versus soil.

The paper uses MDA and ONT to sequence genomes and transcriptomes of nematodes, revealing genome diversity and phylogenetic relationships.

The paper analyzes six Aphelenchoides genomes to identify horizontal gene transfers in the last common ancestor of free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes, revealing major HGT events from bacteria, fungi, and plants.

This study identifies horizontal gene transfer events in Armillaria fungi that contribute to plant biomass degradation and pathogenicity.

This study develops NCLscan-hybrid to detect intragenic trans-spliced RNAs in cancer cells and validates their role in tumor growth and apoptosis.

This study samples S. cerevisiae genetic diversity in Taiwan, revealing nine lineages, historical admixture, and clonal reproduction, highlighting its natural diversity before human domestication.

This study sequenced FSSC genomes to reveal compartmentalisation patterns and pathogenic mechanisms in animal hosts.

The paper sequenced genomes of five bioluminescent Mycena fungi to study the evolution of luciferase clusters and bioluminescence, finding that the trait originated in a common ancestor and was lost in some lineages.

The paper presents the first genome assembly of the stout camphor tree, revealing evolutionary insights into flowering plant genomes and gene family evolution.

This paper compares genomes of 81 nematode and platyhelminth species to identify gene families related to parasitism and prioritize new drug targets.

This study uses comparative and population genomics to analyze Phellinus noxius, revealing its genetic diversity, mating system, and evolutionary patterns.
