We have a brand new genome for porcini mushroom! First chromosome-scale, haplotype-resolved reference genome for Boletus edulis. A great resource for fungal genetics, and the rest of Etienne's PhD!
The paper is now published in #G3journal !🧬🍄 you can learn more about this weird fungal genome here 👉 doi.org/10.1093/g3jo...

Good news for fungal networks in Europe as the EU moves towards healthier soils. 

The Soil Monitoring Law will pave the way for healthier soils that benefit us, and our environment: buff.ly/SodAQYg

Protect soils.
Protect the Underground.

🍄 preprint’s out! 🍄 New reference genome for the Cèpe de Bordeaux with telomere-to-telomere level across multiple chromosomes.
We hope that it will be a great resource to study the genomics and evolution of ectomycorrhizal fungi 🧬

Our preprint is out! We predicted deleterious mutations and reveal the genomic mechanisms underlying fitness variation in black grouse, a classic lekking bird. Check it out doi.org/10.21203/rs....

Predicted deleterious mutations reveal the genomic mechanisms underlying fitness variation in a lekking bird
Deleterious mutations are ubiquitous in natural populations and, when expressed, reduce fitness. However, the specific nature of these mutations and the mechanisms through which they impact fitness r...
