The paper analyzes genome variation in Sporothrix species to understand their evolutionary strategies and drug resistance mechanisms.

The paper presents the first telomere-to-telomere assemblies for two Paracoccidioides species, revealing chromosomal rearrangements and mitochondrial introgression.

The paper detects Histoplasma DNA in soil and bat tissue samples from Brazil, identifying environmental hotspots and multiple bat species as hosts.

This study characterizes two clinical Sarocladium spinificis strains that inhibit Coccidioides posadasii growth, revealing their genomic features and potential antifungal properties.

The paper identifies a defensin-like gene in Coccidioides posadasii with high transcript levels in spherules and uses CRISPR-Cas9 to delete it.

The paper presents a chromosomal-level genome assembly of the Coccidioides posadasii Silveira strain using SMRT sequencing, improving genome annotation and enabling future genomic studies.

The paper assembles and annotates mitochondrial genomes of Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii, and assesses population variation across 77 genomes, identifying common genes and introns.
