Ecological genomics of fungi and nematodes. Academia Sinica. Daddy of three.
It was a real pleasure to host the
@embo.org
Workshop āEvolving Together: From Genomics to Biological Interactionsā at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. Weāve put together a video capturing some of the science, interactions, and atmosphere of the meeting. Thanks to all who made it such a memorable event.

It was really an honour to speak at
#Fungal26
. Was really nervous but at least everyone laughed at my jokes. Lots of science, running and meeting people I've admired their research. Now heading home even more motivated to do more!

With
@litinice.bsky.social
, we built a haploid resource from 33 wild Taiwanese Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains ā including some of the most genetically divergent Asian lineages ā to bring natural yeast diversity into a genetically tractable framework.

With the
@rokaslab.bsky.social
, three novel whole genome duplication (WGD) events were discovered in the Saccharomycotina yeast species in the Dipodascales clade. Before now, only four WGD events were known in fungi. This work suggests WGD may be underreported.
