From Preprint to Print!
Congratulations again to @Ken_M_Mugambi for accomplishing this "tour the force" !! 🥳🥳
Gigaspora margarita shows strategic 3D genome folding; its endosymbiont modulates host TEs

Big congrats to PhD @Ken_M_Mugambi for pulling together this amazing piece of work 🫡
This study details the genome biology of the largest #AMF genome (G. margarita) and its intricate links with its🦠 endosymbiont and 🌱hosts 😀

Genome evolution of #AMF and filamentous plant pathogens is strikingly similar 🤯
@jordana_olive shows that A/B compartments are common in AMF. Within these, TEs locate preferentially near effectors within evolving rapidly genome regions (B-comps)...

For those working with Hi-C data and the @ArimaGenomics workflow, we have rewritten the Arima tools using htslib to speed up the process. Any feedback is welcome: github.com/Genoscope-LBGB/ar…

I’m on the market! 🎉
What do I do?
-I develop research questions and applied biotechnology to understand and disrupt insect symbioses.
-I coordinate international teams to tackle interdisciplinary global challenges.
-I train mycologists, entomologists and insect pathologists.

Wonderful! I would love to see this replicated for all the families of Pezizales
Thrilled to see our paper "Phylogenomic insights into the taxonomy, ecology, and mating systems of the lorchel family Discinaceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota)" released online. An amazing collaboration with Alden Dirks, Tim James and many others ...
