The paper identifies rapidly evolving gene families and environmentally associated CNVs in Arabidopsis species, showing their role in adaptation and stress response.

The paper examines intra-population variability in H3K27me3 histone marks in Zymoseptoria tritici and links it to gene expression variation.

The paper improves gene annotation of Zymoseptoria tritici by combining Iso-Seq and RNA-Seq data, resulting in more accurate gene models and new insights into its transcriptional landscape.

The paper examines TE expression dynamics in a fungal pathogen, finding that TE activity influences trait variation and adaptation.

This study maps regulatory polymorphisms in a wheat pathogen, showing widespread cis-eQTLs and their role in gene expression variation and pathogenesis.

The paper shows that H3K27me3 histone marks reduce transcriptional robustness and link to dispensability of highly conserved genes in fungi.

The paper tracks transposable element (TE) expansion in Zymoseptoria tritici populations, showing that demographic factors and relaxed selection drive genome size increases.

The paper identifies a virulence locus in Zymoseptoria tritici with rapid sequence evolution driven by transposable elements and genomic defenses.

The paper constructs a high-quality pangenome for Zymoseptoria tritici using 19 genomes, revealing extensive gene presence-absence variation and its functional implications.
