This study investigates epigenetic dynamics of centromeres and neocentromeres in Cryptococcus deuterogattii, showing neocentromeres are unstable and lack epigenetic memory.

The paper compares genome architecture across Zymoseptoria species, finding high conservation of compartmentalization despite genomic variability.

This study shows that deleting centromeres in Cryptococcus deuterogattii leads to neocentromere formation and chromosome fusions, which can restore growth and function in some cases.

The paper investigates the role of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 in genome stability in Zymoseptoria tritici, showing H3K9me3 maintains stability by preventing H3K27me3, while H3K27me3 promotes instability of accessory chromosomes.
