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

CRISPR-Cas mediated genome engineering has revolutionized functional genomics.
However, understanding of DNA repair following Cas-mediated DNA cleavage remains …

Accessory genes are variably present among members of a species and are a reservoir of
adaptive functions. In bacteria, differences in gene distributions among individuals largely …

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 key drivers of genomic variation contributing to recent
adaptation in most species. Yet, the evolutionary origins and insertion dynamics within …

Dynamic transposition of transposable elements (TEs) in fungal pathogens has significant
impact on genome stability, gene expression, and virulence to the host. In Magnaporthe …

Structural rearrangements, such as inversions, translocations, duplications, and large
insertions and deletions, are large-scale genomic variants that can play an important role in …

Background Wheat is one of the world's most important cereal crops. However, the fungal
pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici can cause disease epidemics, leading to reduced yields. With …

Aeromonas veronii, an opportunistic pathogen, is known to cause serious infections across
various species. In our previous study, we discovered that A. veronii GL2 exhibited a …

Genomic instability caused by chromosomal rearrangements has severe consequences for
organismal fitness and progression of cancerous cell lines. The triggers of destabilized …
