Really enjoyed being at Biology of Genomes 2025: great science, great people, and great feedback on my work! Also cool and interesting to learn how academic systems differ across countries. #BoG25

Exciting news! Our study is out today in @MobDNAjournal, showcasing a successful experimental evolution application, TE-driven genomic changes, and their role in fungicide resistance, and many other exciting insights! https://t.co/i8kCNbD14I

TE-driven genomic plasticity shapes resistance evolution and CYP51 expression spikes in TE-containing strains 🧬🧬 (3)

[M. Raşit Durak @durak_rasit]

It is finally out! Fungal genomes, transposable elements and fungicide resistance: unlocked! Check out our new paper!
A novel DMI fungicide resistance mechanism in Monilinia spp.- linking a nested TE upstream of the CYP51 gene to reduced sensitivity (1)

[M. Raşit Durak @durak_rasit]

Using a novel experimental evolution framework, we also track the dynamic TE expansions/contractions under fungicide pressure (!!!a net change of 187 TEs within only ten generations!!!) 🧫🧫🧫 (2)

[M. Raşit Durak @durak_rasit]

🧬🔬 Stay tuned for more insights into the evolution and impact of these variants!

[M. Raşit Durak @durak_rasit]

Happy to share a part my Master's thesis research in @GenomeBiolEvol with my supervisor @HilalOzkilinc ! Excited to share our comprehensive structural variant catalog of Monilinia fungal pathogens, investigating their dynamics.

[Hilal Ozkilinc @HilalOzkilinc]

Our fresh publication is in Genome Biology and Evolution (@GenomeBiolEvol). I congratulate my dear graduate student Raşit (@durak_rasit) for his great work! Exploring fungal genomes is fascinating...
