The paper shows that meiosis in Mucor circinelloides produces genetically uniform progeny from a single meiotic product, unlike conventional meiosis.

The paper shows brain infection induces RNAi epimutations in Mucor circinelloides that enhance blood-brain barrier invasion.

This study identifies transient heterochromatin islands in Cryptococcus neoformans that contribute to fluconazole heteroresistance, distinct from aneuploidy.

This study shows RNAi epimutations conferring antifungal drug resistance are transgenerationally inherited in Mucor circinelloides, independent of DNA sequence and other epigenetic factors.

The paper investigates the role of heterochromatin and RNAi in genome stability in Mucorales fungi, finding they act independently to control transposition and maintain genome integrity.

This paper identifies a non-canonical RNAi pathway (NCRIP) in Mucor circinelloides that regulates virulence and genome stability by controlling transposon activity and stress responses.

The paper investigates the absence of CENP-A in Mucor circinelloides, revealing a unique mosaic of point and regional centromeres.
