Nearly a year after our symposium on Repeat-Induced Point (RIP) mutations, I’m happy to share the fruit of some of our discussions.
The fungal RIP hypermutator mechanism has deep eukaryotic roots www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
We hope to spark interest in this underappreciated mechanism.
Fungal #GenomeSize variation is largely driven by TEs & lineage-specific genome defenses. @tbadet.bsky.social & @danielcroll.bsky.social show that presence/absence of RIP mutation systems influences #genome architecture, identifying a likely novel defense mechanism @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4hcC5tx
Finally out!

I was asked to organise a panel discussion for a SynBio Student Meetup in Hamburg in the middle of May and I'm still looking for panellist! If you know any researchers at the PhD/Postdoc who have expertise in metabolic/genome/multicellular organism engineering, please reach out!

Thrilled to share our paper now out in Nature Plants 🎉
We developed a genome-host association (GHA) approach to study pathogen adaptation directly from field metadata by using the originating host cultivar as phenotype.

A recent shift in centromere size and DNA content in Podospora pseudocomata co-occurs with the loss of a fungal genome defense system https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.02.690432v1
