Genomic Insights Into the Lichen Symbiosis: <italic>Cladonia grayi</italic> as a Model Lichen
(2011)Lichens are symbioses between a fungus and a photosynthesizing partner such as a green alga or a cyanobacterium. Unlike mycorrhizal or rhizobial symbioses, the lichen symbiosis is not well understood either morphologically ... -
HGT in the human and skin commensal Malassezia: A bacterially derived flavohemoglobin is required for NO resistance and host interaction.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020-06-23)The skin of humans and animals is colonized by commensal and pathogenic fungi and bacteria that share this ecological niche and have established microbial interactions. Malassezia are the most abundant fungal skin inhabitant ... -
Punctuated evolution and transitional hybrid network in an ancestral cell cycle of fungi.
(Elife, 2016-05-10)Although cell cycle control is an ancient, conserved, and essential process, some core animal and fungal cell cycle regulators share no more sequence identity than non-homologous proteins. Here, we show that evolution along ... -
Seeing the Light: the Origin and Evolution of Plant Photoreceptors
(2015)Plants use an array of photoreceptors to measure the quality, quantity, and direction of light in order to respond to ever-changing light environments. Photoreceptors not only determine how and when individual plants complete ... -
The Contribution of Horizontal Gene Transfer to the Evolution of Fungi.
(2007-05-10)The genomes of the hemiascomycetes Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Ashbya gossypii have been completely sequenced, allowing a comparative analysis of these two genomes, which reveals that a small number of genes appear to have ...
