Educational short read on 2 billion years of fungal evolution from ancestral marine flagellates to mushrooms. www.mycostories.com/post/two-bil... #fungi #evolution #symbiosis #mycorrhiza 🍄

A fun commentary with @christinakaiser.bsky.social inspired by a very cool paper in New Phyt by @fungidownunder.bsky.social et al. showing that EcM fungal functional traits affect soil C responses to elevated CO2. EcM species and traits really matter! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌟Call for Papers: Genomics of Symbiosis🌟 I am a guest editor for BMC Genomics. Looking forward to your exciting manuscripts on all types of symbiosis on earth including symbiotic fungi and their hosts! 🌿🍄 biomedcentral.com/collections/... #BMCgenomics

Looking forward to visiting Zhejiang University …

My Chinese colleagues are keeping me busy 😉

Un beau livre qui dévoile la vie intime d’essences incontournables de nos régions : Chêne, tilleul, sapin, mélèze, frêne, saule… des portraits personnels illustrant combien chaque arbre est un monde à part entière. Superbement illustré par Emmanuelle Boîtier … boutique.salamandre.org/arbres-secre...

Interested in improving soil biodiversity and promote sustainable forestry? Think about applying for a PhD to work with @fungidownunder.bsky.social and @westsyduhie.bsky.social industrial partner Rhizocore, seeking to improve mycorrhizal diversity in plantation forestry tinyurl.com/jxcdhp3p

Finally! Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’m thrilled to let you now that our paper on a Fusarium forming ectomycorrhiza-like interactions was published in IM Fungus: doi.org/10.3897/imaf... A great collaboration with Zhilin Yuan'steam!

Learn about our new research uncovering #fungi and plant trade systems, and hear from 3 of the authors. Watch the video: youtu.be/tOUhu2tXIWg?...

Our newest research on plant-fungal trade published today in @nature.com. The work, led by scientists from Vrije Universiteit, Princeton University, SPUN & AMOLF combines robotics, mycology & biophysics to reveal underground supply-chain dynamics. Open access: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An exciting exploration of morel mitogenomes with Tao Gang, Shingo and the JGI team!

🟢Visual Omics Series 12🟢 Out now! Explore the mitochondrial genomes of fascinating Morchella species through a retro 80s video game vibe. @fmartin54.bsky.social @imafungus.pensoft.net #Genomics #Fungi #DataViz 👉https://shorturl.at/KPqyH 🧪🧬🖥️

Happy to be collaborating on this study! Congrats to all the co-authors on this achievement. 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to see our paper "Phylogenomic insights into the taxonomy, ecology, and mating systems of the lorchel family Discinaceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota)" released online. An amazing collaboration with Alden Dirks, Tim James and many others ... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🟡 Visual Omics Series 11 🟡 Published now! Discover genomic signatures in ectomycorrhizal fungi through a comparative analysis of 63 ECM fungi, uniquely illustrated with Andy Warhol-inspired art. 🧬🖥️ @fmartin54.bsky.social #Evolution #Genomics #Fungi #DataViz 👉 shorturl.at/xqUBK

A great collection of papers and a superbe illustration of the mycorrhizal networks from Florian Gadenne on the cover page 👍

In addition to applied statistics, I have another repository on #DataVisualization: "quick data vis" (github.com/cxli233/Quic...). It used to be under "Online_R_learning" but now it has its own repository on GitHub. I have used this content to teach 1st year grad students for 3 years.

✨Visual Fungal Omics✨Check out my recent papers! I emphasize visual presentation of data to make biological interpretation easy and appealing for non-experts. 🍄 I transform data into stunning visuals, showcasing the beauty of fungal genomes. #bioinformatics #dataviz #genomics #evolution #fungi
