ClassifyITS improves fungal ITS sequence classification by using taxon-specific cutoffs, outperforming existing tools and supporting better biodiversity analysis.

This paper establishes homologous recombination in Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis to enable genetic manipulation, revealing insights into fungal development and pathogenesis in amphibians.

The paper expands the database of giant virus genomes, identifies new viral taxa and functions, and highlights potential biotechnological applications.

The paper sequenced multiple Trichaptum specimens to analyze mating loci, finding long-term balancing selection maintains genetic diversity and generates many mating types.

This study tracks genomic changes in serially passaged Cryptococcus neoformans x deneoformans hybrids, revealing patterns of mutation, LOH, and aneuploidy associated with adaptation.
