Pourquoi l'effondrement de la biodiversité est-il au moins aussi préoccupant que le dérèglement climatique? Conférence et dédicaces de "L'attention au Vivant" le 27 novembre à Grenoble à 19h! Avec une intervention de @dorianguinard.bsky.social, de l'association La biodiversité sous nos pieds!

1/ Ever needed to annotate TEs in a fungal genome, but didn't know where to start?

We have released #MycoMobilome, a community-focused non-redundant database of transposable element consensus sequences for the fungal kingdom, constructed from >4,000 fungal genomes!

Starship giant transposons dominate plastic genomic regions in a fungal plant pathogen and drive virulence evolution
Nature Communications - Giant transposons, known as ‘Starships’, mediate horizontal gene transfer between fungal genomes. Here, Sato et al. show that Starships occupy genome regions...

Reconstructing NOD-like receptor alleles with high internal conservation in Podospora anserina using long-read sequencing
NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular immune receptors that detect pathogen-associated cues and trigger defence mechanisms, including regulated cell death. In filamentous fungi, some NLRs mediat...

Our new paper is out!
We observed a loss of function in mating compatibility for HD genes for the first time in basidiomycete fungi, and new evolutionary strata in the absence of sexually antagonistic selection!

Repeated loss of function at HD mating-type genes and of recombination in anther-smut fungi - Nature Communications
Basidiomycete fungi typically have two mating-type loci located on different chromosomes. Here, Lucotte et al. report the convergent loss-of-function of mating-type genes across several species of phy...

We did it! We caught Starship #transposons moving between #fungal species in the lab, including between species separated by ~100my. We think Starships are a mediator of HGT in fungi, akin to conjugative elements in bacteria. Check out the preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
