Fungal pathogens cause more than a billion human infections every year, resulting in more than 1.6 million deaths annually. Understanding the natural history and evolutionary ecology of fungi is helping us understand how disease-relevant traits have repeatedly evolved. Different types and mechanisms of ...
evolving MC, fungal hyphae should be considered a third, qualitatively different route to evolving multicellularity. Subjective categorizations aside, hyphae represent a highly successful adaptation to terrestrial life and comparative genomics opens the door for dissecting the genetic underpinnings of its eme...

For the fungal communities, Shannon indexes indicated that the samples from northwest China had higher biodiversity than those from the southeast (p < 0.001; Fig.3a, Supplementary Figure S3e). The alpha diversity of fungal communities was mainly influenced by temperature (p = 0.009; Suppl...
Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) have been long recognized as evolving rapidly in structure and slowly in sequence [4,5]. In fact, sequence divergence among angiosperm mitogenomes is typically slow [6,7], approximately 4- and 20-fold slower than in their chloroplast and nuclear ...
Protostome GATA genes are often present in multiple copies within any one genome, and rapidly evolving gene sequences have obscured orthology among arthropod and nematode GATA homologs. In addition, a lack of taxonomic sampling has prevented a stepwise reconstruction of protostome GATA gene family ...
The process by which the genome of an asexual population accumulates deleterious mutations in an irreversible manner, owing to the chance loss of individuals with the lowest number of mutations. Background selection The interfering effect of selection against deleterious mutations at loci that are linke...
Second, because late genes are evolving faster (Fig.1), they may more often diverge enough from homologs in other species that they are identified as new genes, for example because they experience relaxed purifying selection. To address this hypothesis, we considered pairs of paralogs that are ...
