Jon Richards@jkrichards.bsky.social · last mo.We are recruiting two PhD students to work on an NSF-funded project focusing on the systematics, taxonomy, and comparative genomics of Cercospora! There will be plenty of opportunities to gain field, lab, and computational skills in fungal biology. Please share widely. Thanks!

A systematic screen for genetic factors underpinning transposon defense systems across the fungal kingdom
Fungal genome sizes exhibit more than a 100-fold variation, largely driven by the expansion of repetitive sequences such as transposable elements (TEs). Genomic defenses have evolved to counteract TE ...

Long-read genomics reveal extensive nuclear-specific evolution and allele-specific expression in a dikaryotic fungus
Phased telomere to telomere (T2T) genome assemblies are revolutionising our understanding of long hidden genome biology "dark matter" such as centromeres, rDNA repeats, inter-haplotype variation, and ...
