Happy to share the final story from my thesis, demonstrating that the common ancestor of all terrestrial fungi had zymocin-like killer plasmids, a toxin system found in some budding yeasts. Come with me on an all-too-familiar, database dumpster-diving journey (1/10)

Zymocin-like killer plasmids were present in the common ancestor of terrestrial fungi
Some budding yeasts secrete killer toxins made by linear dsDNA plasmids located in the cytosol. The best-known example is the Kluyveromyces lactis toxin zymocin, which is encoded by a 9-kb killer plas...

One of the biggest open questions in prehistory is where and how the Indo-European languages originated and spread. A newish paper sheds some very interesting light on this issue, so here's a thread on it. IE languages are spoken by nearly half of humanity. Map shows the homelands of the main ones
