Natural history and evolutionary principles of gene duplication in fungi
Gene duplication and loss is a powerful source of functional innovation. However, the
general principles that govern this process are still largely unknown. With the growing …

A fungal phylogeny based on 42 complete genomes derived from supertree and combined gene analysis
Background To date, most fungal phylogenies have been derived from single gene
comparisons, or from concatenated alignments of a small number of genes. The increase in …

Expandable and reversible copy number amplification drives rapid adaptation to antifungal drugs
Previously, we identified long repeat sequences that are frequently associated with genome
rearrangements, including copy number variation (CNV), in many diverse isolates of the …
