Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

Cross-species gene transfer is often associated with bacteria, which have evolved several
mechanisms that facilitate horizontal DNA exchange. However, the increased availability of …

Hybridisation is a common event in yeasts often leading to genomic variability and
adaptation. The yeast Candida orthopsilosis is a human-associated opportunistic pathogen …

How organisms respond to environmental stress is a key topic in evolutionary biology. This
study focused on the genomic evolution of Laburnicola rhizohalophila, a dark-septate …

Almost all eukaryotes undergo sexual reproduction to generate diversity and select for
fitness in their population pools. Interestingly, the systems by which sex is defined are highly …

Cryptic fungal pathogens pose disease management challenges due to their morphological
resemblance to known pathogens. Here, we investigated the genomes and phenotypes of …

Virulence Across Aspergillus Species | Genetics | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content …

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat …

Background The great diversity of lifestyles and survival strategies observed in fungi is
reflected in the many ways in which they reproduce and recombine. Although a complete …

Reconstructing the tree of life remains a central goal in biology. Early methods, which relied
on small numbers of morphological or genetic characters, often yielded conflicting …
