New light on a recent question in fungal multicellular development: is A-to-I editing important? In the Ascomycota this is becoming pretty convincing, whereas in Basidiomycota data suggest editing is not key https://t.co/FeOBepuZrY

How do mutation rates compare across mammals, fishes, birds and reptiles? New work in @Nature finds:
1. Higher mutation rates in males in mammals & birds, but not in reptiles & fishes.
2. Generation time, age at maturity & fecundity affect mutation rates.

NEW Publication🥳 Molecular #evolution studies often rely on single-copy orthologs (SC-OGs), resulting in large gene families—like transporters—being ignored. We present OrthoSNAP, software for identifying subsets of SC-OGs within larger gene families. 🔗https://t.co/2rWsRLsamn

(1/4) Did you know that there are bacteria in human tumors? Well, this is old news now 😊. Our new study, featured on the cover of @CellCellPress, shows that human tumors contain fungi as well and that tumor fungi matter! (Cover by @munafomarzia) https://t.co/gQA3olwSpO

Ever wondered how bacterial pathogens evolved? In our latest work, we provide insight about how obligate host-associated Rickettsiales evolved from free-living relatives. See here: https://t.co/5o0j85NnVX. Great work by @maxemilschon @JoranMartijn @JulianVosseberg & @koestlste

Proud to share this paper coauthored with Wei Zhang and colleagues. A multi-omic approach was used to characterize the genomic basis of leaf mimicry in Kallima butterflies. On the cover of Cell 8/18/22!
