How do fungi distinguish conspecific self from non-self? The genetics of this fascinating topic are plagued with misunderstandings even amongst mycologists. We wrote a review/rant to address this confusion, out now! 🍄 #fungi #allorecognition #HETgenes www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Tracking the Evolutionary Trajectory of a Young Hybrid Plant Pathogen

Abstract. A common mechanism by which emerging plant pathogens gain the ability to infect new hosts is hybridization. Despite its widespread occurrence, th

So excited to share that one of the chapters from my thesis has been published! In it we discovered that, despite previous assumptions, Escovopsis (a mycoparasite in the fungus growing ant symbiosis), has a complete MAT locus under purifying selection.

@soleilsolay.bsky.social et al. find that Escovopsis s.l. - specialized fungal parasite of the fungus-growing ant symbiosis - likely undergoes cryptic sex as all examined strains have a complete mating-type locus under purifying selection. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag160 #evolution #societyjournal

「MIG-seq2：多数のデュアル・ユニーク・インデックスの利用が可能になったMIG-seq法の改良版」 #OpenAccess

<TECHNICAL NOTE> #OpenAccess MIG-seq2: Multiplexed Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat Genotyping by Sequencing With Dual-Unique Indices Yoshihisa Suyama, Naoko Ishikawa 👉 doi.org/10.1111/1440... genome-wide SNP analysis/ MIG-seq/ molecular phylogenetics/ phylogeography

Graphical abstract: We developed a new version of the Multiplexed ISSR Genotyping by Sequencing (MIG-seq) method, called MIG-seq2. This improved protocol incorporates dual unique indices to distinguish more than 1344 samples and optimizes primer tail sequences to improve sequence quality. Additionally, we designed an optional degenerate primer set (dpMIG-seq2) to enhance amplification efficiency in low-diversity samples. The effectiveness of these improvements was confirmed by phylogenetic analyses of two closely related Plantago species, which yielded highly reproducible and well-supported trees.
