In our latest study, we took a critical look at #fungal family #Nectriaceae by analyzing 1,530 #genomes! We built a robust #phylogenomic backbone that supports current taxonomy but also reveals gene-tree discordance and unresolved boundaries. More info www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

This week at #17ECFG, our team shared findings on the C. graminicola effector CgEP4, which translocates to the nucleus and nucleolus and plays a key role in maize anthracnose. We captured beautiful microscopic images of its localization,a great achievement given the challenges of working with maize.
