Background. Rapid industrialization and anthropogenic activities such as the unmanaged
use of agro-chemicals, fossil fuel burning and dum** of sewage sludge have caused soils …

Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to describing degradation of wood, which is
a complex process; hence, microorganisms have evolved different enzymatic and non …

We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-
dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Plant biomass conversion by saprotrophic fungi plays a pivotal role in terrestrial carbon (C)
cycling. The general consensus is that fungi metabolize carbohydrates, while lignin is only …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete effector proteins to facilitate infection. We describe extensive
improvements to EffectorP, the first machine learning classifier for fungal effector prediction …

Basidiomycota (basidiomycetes) make up 32% of the described fungi and include most
wood-decaying species, as well as pathogens and mutualistic symbionts. Wood-decaying …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Basidiomycete fungi subsist on various types of plant material in diverse environments, from
living and dead trees and forest litter to crops and grasses and to decaying plant matter in …

Background Fungi are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth. However,
a substantial amount of the species diversity, relationships, habitats, and life strategies of …
