Mating-type locus structure affects gene expression in unidirectional mating-type switching fungi

Frances A. Lane, Brenda Diana Wingfield, Michael J. Wingfield, P. Markus Wilken

The paper shows that variations in the MAT1 locus structure in fungi affect gene expression beyond the sexual cycle, including genes unrelated to mating.

Chromosome-level genome assemblies for the latent pine pathogen, Diplodia sapinea, reveal two rapidly evolving accessory chromosomes

Preston L. Shaw, Bernard Slippers, Brenda Diana Wingfield…·Tuan Anh Duong

This study presents chromosome-level genome assemblies of Diplodia sapinea, identifying two accessory chromosomes that show rapid evolution and potential horizontal transfer.
