Evolutionary genomics of pathogens
Croll lab at University of Neuchatel. The lab of Daniel Croll wants to understand how pathogens evolve to cause disease. For this, we mainly focus on major crop pathogens to unravel mechanisms of rapi...

Great work out by @alicelaigle.bsky.social on her investigation of 3D genome architectures across the fungal kingdom! Big thanks to our excellent co-authors @camillecornet.bsky.social @crazychipkali.bsky.social @tobybarilbio.bsky.social, also to Darwin Tree of Life for making their data accessible!

How does an unusual but essential epigenetic DNA modification in eukaryotes interact with histone modifications? We found that some hPTMs, including H3K4me and H3K27ac, define the proper 6mA deposition in the DNA and are essential for maintaining 6mA-associated transcriptional activity. More: ⬇️

Active histone modifications fine-tune DNA N-6 methyladenine deposition and maintain transcriptional stability
Epigenetic mechanisms provide sophisticated regulatory layers that modulate gene expression across diverse organisms, yet their organization and crosstalk remain poorly understood in non-dikarya fungi...

Go outside. Get some light. Forget about that toxic relationship you're addicted to. Our latest work in @isme-microbes.bsky.social shows how light can replace the function of endosymbiotic bacteria hosted within fungal hyphae for asexual reproduction. academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

Light restores sporulation in Rhizopus microsporus cured of its endosymbionts, unveiling their role in fitness and virulence
Abstract. Rhizopus microsporus is a major cause of mucormycosis, an infection caused by Mucorales that increasingly affects immunocompromised individuals.
