The paper investigates recombination near the mating-type locus in Cladorrhinum fungi, finding no evidence of large recombination suppression despite pseudo-homothallic life cycles.

The paper investigates recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in Schizothecium fungi, finding evolutionary strata associated with a diploid-like life cycle in pseudo-homothallic species.

The paper tests for sheltered load in fungal mating-type chromosomes by comparing growth rates of heterokaryons and homokaryons, finding faster growth in heterokaryons suggesting recessive deleterious mutations in non-recombining regions.

The paper uses genome sequencing to delimit 18 species within the Schizothecium tetrasporum morpho-species, identifying three complexes based on genetic and breeding system differences.

The paper identifies a non-recombining genomic region in the invasive fungus Cryphonectria parasitica linked to the mating-type locus, showing balanced haplotype segregation and potential adaptation through mobile elements.

The paper provides chromosome-level genome assemblies for four species in the Podospora anserina complex, along with a dataset of 28 annotated genomes, revealing genomic similarities and phylogenetic conflicts.

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

The paper uses machine-learning to identify genomic features that predict structural variation in fungal and plant genomes, showing base composition and retrotransposons drive rearrangements.

The paper identifies transposable element insertions as a mechanism regulating Zmr1 expression and melanin accumulation in the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici.

This study uses QTL mapping to uncover the genetic basis of virulence in Zymoseptoria tritici, identifying both population-specific and shared genetic factors affecting pathogen reproduction and host damage.
