[HTML][HTML] Phylogenomics of a new fungal phylum reveals multiple waves of reductive evolution across Holomycota
Compared to multicellular fungi and unicellular yeasts, unicellular fungi with free-living
flagellated stages (zoospores) remain poorly known and their phylogenetic position is often …

A combined microscopy and single-cell sequencing approach reveals the ecology, morphology, and phylogeny of uncultured lineages of zoosporic fungi
Environmental DNA analyses of fungal communities typically reveal a much larger diversity
than can be ascribed to known species. Much of this hidden diversity lies within undescribed …

Diploid-dominant life cycles characterize the early evolution of Fungi
KR Amses, DR Simmons… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

[HTML][HTML] Comparative genomics reveals the origin of fungal hyphae and multicellularity
Hyphae represent a hallmark structure of multicellular fungi. The evolutionary origins of
hyphae and of the underlying genes are, however, hardly known. By systematically …

Phylogenetic relationships within the Opisthokonta based on phylogenomic analyses of conserved single-copy protein domains
Many of the eukaryotic phylogenomic analyses published to date were based on alignments
of hundreds to thousands of genes. Frequently, in such analyses, the most realistic …

[HTML][HTML] Genome-scale phylogenetic analyses confirm Olpidium as the closest living zoosporic fungus to the non-flagellated, terrestrial fungi
The zoosporic obligate endoparasites, Olpidium, hold a pivotal position to the reconstruction
of the flagellum loss in fungi, one of the key morphological transitions associated with the …
