In the past decade, advances in genome sequencing have allowed researchers to uncover
the history of hybridization in diverse groups of species, including our own. Although the …

Cross-species gene transfer is often associated with bacteria, which have evolved several
mechanisms that facilitate horizontal DNA exchange. However, the increased availability of …

Studies of invasive species can simultaneously inform management strategies and quantify
rapid evolution in the wild. The role of genomics in invasion science is increasingly …

The fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici causes wheat powdery mildew disease. Here, we
study its spread and evolution by analyzing a global sample of 172 mildew genomes. Our …

Many species of fungal plant pathogens coexist as multiple lineages on the same host, but
the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of population structure remain largely …

CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology has taken the scientific community by storm since its
development in 2012. First discovered in 1987, CRISPR/Cas systems act as an adaptive …

Dutch elm disease (DED) is a vascular wilt disease caused by the pathogens Ophiostoma
ulmi and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi with multiple ecological phases including pathogenic …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Diversity within the fungal kingdom is evident from the wide range of morphologies fungi
display as well as the various ecological roles and industrial purposes they serve …

Supergenes are genetic architectures resulting in the segregation of alternative
combinations of alleles underlying complex phenotypes. The co‐segregation of alleles at …
