Streptomyces induces unisexual reproduction of a major human fungal pathogen

Ye-Eun Son, Xuefei Chen, Gerard D. Wright…·Joseph Heitman

This study shows that tunicamycin from Streptomyces induces unisexual reproduction in Cryptococcus species through meiotic processes and developmental reprogramming.

Epimutations driven by RNAi or heterochromatin evoke transient antimicrobial drug resistance in fungi

Ye-Eun Son, Carlos Pérez Arques, Joseph Heitman

This study shows that fungi develop transient antifungal resistance through RNAi or heterochromatin-driven epimutations, without DNA mutations.
