Identified in the late nineteenth century as a single species residing on human skin,
Malassezia is now recognized as a diverse genus comprising 18 species inhabiting not only …

The skin microbial community is a multifunctional ecosystem aiding prevention of infections
from transient pathogens, maintenance of host immune homeostasis, and skin health. A …

A diploid genome in the Saccharum complex facilitates our understanding of evolution in the
highly polyploid Saccharum genus. Here we have generated a complete, gap-free genome …

Background Centromeres are critical for maintaining genomic stability in eukaryotes, and
their turnover shapes genome architectures and drives karyotype evolution. However, the co …

Malassezia form the dominant eukaryotic microbial community on the human skin. The
Malassezia genus possesses a repertoire of secretory hydrolytic enzymes involved in …

Here we review how evolving species concepts have been applied to understand yeast
diversity. Initially, a phenotypic species concept was utilized taking into consideration …

Centromeres are the genomic regions that organize and regulate chromosome behaviours
during cell cycle, and their variations are associated with genome instability, karyotype …

Centromeres (CEN) are the chromosomal regions that play a crucial role in maintaining
genomic stability. The underlying highly repetitive DNA sequences can evolve quickly in …

Fungi in the basidiomycete genus Malassezia are the most prevalent eukaryotic microbes
resident on the skin of human and other warm-blooded animals and have been implicated in …

Karyotype dynamics driven by complex chromosome rearrangements constitute a
fundamental issue in evolutionary genetics. The evolutionary events underlying karyotype …
