Accurate ab initio gene prediction in eukaryotes with Tiberius in multiple clades

Lars Gabriel, Tomáš Brůna, Asees Kaur, Anish Krishnan, Felix Ortmann, Asaf A. Salamov, Samuel Talbot, Felix Becker, Richard Krieg, Christopher West Wheat, Igor V. Grigoriev, Mario Stanke, Katharina J. Hoff

Extended Tiberius models outscore Helixer and ANNEVO on all 33 genomes from the five clades all three tools cover, and approach BRAKER3 accuracy in four clades without extrinsic evidence.

Identification and Classification of Fungal GPCR Gene Families

Zhiyin Liu, Asaf A. Salamov, Igor V. Grigoriev

The paper identifies and classifies GPCRs in 1,357 fungal species, revealing Pth11-like GPCRs as predominant and identifying potential novel fungal GPCRs using a custom CNN and AlphaFold Multimer.

Phylogenomic analyses of non-Dikarya fungi supports horizontal gene transfer driving diversification of secondary metabolism in the amphibian gastrointestinal symbiont, Basidiobolus

Javier F. Tabima, Ian A. Trautman, Ying Chang, Yan Wang, Stephen James Mondo, Alan Kuo, Asaf A. Salamov, Igor V. Grigoriev, Jason Stajich, Joseph W. Spatafora

The paper identifies SM gene clusters in non-Dikarya fungi, particularly Basidiobolus, and shows horizontal gene transfer contributes to SM diversification in amphibian gut symbionts.
