The paper identifies horizontal mini-chromosome transfers in clonal blast fungus lineages, showing genetic exchange between host-associated isolates.

This study reports the diploid genome of the free-living diatom Nitzschia putrida and identifies genetic changes associated with its transition from a photosynthetic to a non-parasitic secondary heterotrophic lifestyle.

This study evaluates how SNP calling parameters affect population genetic analyses in the rice blast fungus, finding minimal impact on key evolutionary inferences despite variations in SNP counts.

The paper identifies and analyzes hypervariable mini-chromosomes in Magnaporthe oryzae isolates from different grass hosts, showing their role in genomic rearrangements and potential adaptive evolution.

The paper identifies a South American lineage of Magnaporthe oryzae as the cause of a wheat blast outbreak in Bangladesh using transcriptome sequencing and population genomics.

The paper identifies sixteen candidate effector proteins from the wheat yellow rust fungus and finds one, PST02549, localizes to plant processing bodies.

The paper reports on a crowdsourced project analyzing ash dieback fungus data, revealing insights into its genome and biology through community contributions.
