The paper shows that variations in the MAT1 locus structure in fungi affect gene expression beyond the sexual cycle, including genes unrelated to mating.

This study uses phylogenetic and population genetic analyses to identify two genetically distinct groups within the Ceratocystis manginecans complex, showing ecological divergence and evidence of hybridization.

This study describes six new Cryptococcus species using genomic and phenotypic data, revealing ecological associations, chromosomal variation, and metabolic differences across the genus.

The paper traces the evolution of mating-type loci in Cryptococcus and related species, revealing genomic dynamics like locus expansions, GC-content changes, and linkage transitions.

This study presents chromosome-level genome assemblies of Diplodia sapinea, identifying two accessory chromosomes that show rapid evolution and potential horizontal transfer.

The paper compares genomes of Botryosphaeriaceae fungi to identify genetic elements related to their plant pathogenicity, finding high abundance of hydrolytic enzymes and secondary metabolite gene clusters.
