Biotrophy is a pervasive trait that evolved independently in plant pathogenic fungi and
oomycetes. Comparative genomics of the first sequenced biotrophic pathogens highlight …

Coral stress tolerance is intricately tied to the animal's association with microbial symbionts.
The most well-known of these symbioses is that between corals and their dinoflagellate …

Calcium uptake into mitochondria occurs via a recently identified ion channel called the
uniporter. Here, we characterize the phylogenomic distribution of the uniporter's membrane …

Eukaryotic organisms play essential roles in the biology and fertility of soils. For example the
micro and mesofauna contribute to the fragmentation and homogenization of plant organic …

Sequences from 86 fungal genomes and from the two outgroup genomes Arabidopsis
thaliana and Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed to construct a robust molecular …

The kingdom of fungi provides model organisms for biotechnology, cell biology, genetics,
and life sciences in general. Only when their phylogenetic relationships are stably resolved …

The deep-sea is one of the most mysterious and unexplored extreme environments, holding
great potential and interest for science. Despite extensive studies on deep-sea prokaryotes …

Although the oomycetes and fungi are evolutionarily very distantly related, both taxa evolved
biotrophy on plant hosts several times independently, giving rise to rust-and mildew-like …

En los últimos años la taxonomía de los hongos causantes de infecciones en el hombre ha
cambiado sustancialmente especialmente debido al rápido desarrollo de las técnicas de …

Rapidly evolving, indel-rich phylogenetic markers play a pivotal role in our understanding of
the relationships at multiple levels of the tree of life. There is extensive evidence that indels …
