This study identifies extensive horizontal gene transfer in the fungus gnat Bradysia coprophila, showing these genes contribute to stress tolerance and ecological adaptation.

This study identifies a mitochondrial bistability mechanism in yeast that enables bet-hedging through translational antagonism between mitochondrial and cytosolic translation.

The paper identifies Clb4 as a factor preventing premature sister centromere separation in meiosis I of budding yeast, with effects dependent on genetic background.

The paper identifies Ypl225w as a chaperone that facilitates GTP-driven co-translational folding of eEF1A by interacting with the ribosome and NAC.

The paper models multicellular cluster growth in budding yeast by varying parameters to show how cellular features influence cluster size and composition.

The paper identifies yeast pheromone genes using computational filters, finding candidates in 238 out of 332 fungal genomes across 13 distant clades.

The paper shows that using different gene annotation methods in comparative genomics can falsely increase the number of lineage-specific genes by up to 15-fold.
