Pourquoi l'effondrement de la biodiversité est-il au moins aussi préoccupant que le dérèglement climatique? Conférence et dédicaces de "L'attention au Vivant" le 27 novembre à Grenoble à 19h! Avec une intervention de @dorianguinard.bsky.social, de l'association La biodiversité sous nos pieds!

1/ Ever needed to annotate TEs in a fungal genome, but didn't know where to start? We have released #MycoMobilome, a community-focused non-redundant database of transposable element consensus sequences for the fungal kingdom, constructed from >4,000 fungal genomes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣 Happy to see the journal publication 📄 of our work on Starships 🚀 in Verticillium fungi: terrific work led by @yukiyosato.bsky.social rdcu.be/exBSp

Sheltered load in fungal mating-type chromosomes revealed by fitness experiments Guyot et al. @tatianagiraud.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/jeb/...

Happy to see this out! "Reconstructing NOD-like receptor alleles with high internal conservation in #Podospora anserina using long-read sequencing", now in ‪@microbiologysociety.org‬! 🧬 Keep reading for a simple explanation 🧵 1/n #Fungi #Allorecognition www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Our new paper is out! We observed a loss of function in mating compatibility for HD genes for the first time in basidiomycete fungi, and new evolutionary strata in the absence of sexually antagonistic selection! @tatianagiraud.bsky.social More details here 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We did it! We caught Starship #transposons moving between #fungal species in the lab, including between species separated by ~100my. We think Starships are a mediator of HGT in fungi, akin to conjugative elements in bacteria. Check out the preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

An inversion polymorphism under balancing selection, involving giant mobile elements, in the invasive fungal pathogen responsable for the chesnut blight disease! doi.org/10.1093/molb...
