The paper examines transcriptional differences in fungal and algal lichen symbionts from high- and low-elevation sites, revealing site-specific gene expression patterns related to climate adaptation.

The paper identifies the biosynthetic gene cluster for gyrophoric acid in lichen-forming fungi using long-read sequencing and bioinformatics.

The paper assembles the holo-genome of the lichen Umbilicaria pustulata using metagenomic data, revealing genome structures and abundance ratios of its symbiotic components.
