The Genetic Landscape of Structural Variants in Aspergillus flavus using ONT and PacBio Sequencing

Alexie Woods, Jessica M. Lohmar, Amna Malik, Arthur J. Lustig

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze structural variants in Aspergillus flavus, identifying homopolymer tracts and deletions that arise spontaneously.

Molecular characterization of required for killing-2: a gene required for spore killing by Neurospora Sk-3.

Sabiha Sultana, Shahriar Mahmud, Parham Jazireian, Jessica M. Lohmar, Daren W. Brown, Thomas M. Hammond, Nicholas A. Rhoades

The paper identifies rfk-2 as a gene required for spore killing by Sk-3 in Neurospora fungi, showing it is necessary but not sufficient for the process.

Role of the osaA transcription factor gene in development, secondary metabolism and virulence in the mycotoxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus

Farzana Ehetasum Hossain, A. R. Dabholkar, Jessica M. Lohmar, Matthew D. Lebar, Brian M. Mack, Ana M. Calvo

This study identifies osaA as a key transcription factor in Aspergillus flavus regulating aflatoxin production, morphological development, and pathogenicity, suggesting it as a target for controlling mycotoxin contamination.
