Survival trade-offs in plant roots during colonization by closely related beneficial and pathogenic fungi
The sessile nature of plants forced them to evolve mechanisms to prioritize their responses
to simultaneous stresses, including colonization by microbes or nutrient starvation. Here, we …

Physical separation of haplotypes in dikaryons allows benchmarking of phasing accuracy in Nanopore and HiFi assemblies with Hi-C data
Background Most animals and plants have more than one set of chromosomes and package
these haplotypes into a single nucleus within each cell. In contrast, many fungal species …
