Through the association of protein complexes to DNA, the eukaryotic nuclear genome is
broadly organized into open euchromatin that is accessible for enzymes acting on DNA and …

Human activity impacts the evolutionary trajectories of many species worldwide. Global
trade of agricultural goods contributes to the dispersal of pathogens reshaping their genetic …

Mutations are the source of genetic variation and the substrate for evolution. Genome-wide
mutation rates appear to be affected by selection and are probably adaptive. Mutation rates …

Copy number variation (CNV) can drive rapid evolution in changing environments. In
microbial pathogens, such adaptation is a key factor underpinning epidemics and …

The activity of transposable elements (TEs) contributes significantly to pathogen genome
evolution. TEs often destabilize genome integrity but may also confer adaptive variation in …

Transposable elements (TEs) are a major source of genetic and regulatory variation in their
host genome and are consequently thought to play important roles in evolution. Many fungal …

Facultative heterochromatin controls development and differentiation in many eukaryotes. In
metazoans, plants, and many filamentous fungi, facultative heterochromatin is characterized …

Transposable elements (TEs) are key drivers of genomic variation contributing to recent
adaptation in most species. Yet, the evolutionary origins and insertion dynamics within …

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei (teleomorph Hypocrea jecorina, Ascomycota) is
a well-known lignocellulolytic enzymes-producing strain in industry. To increase the …

The genome of the wheat-pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici represents extensive
presence-absence variation in gene content. Here, we addressed variation in biosynthetic …
