🔔 Our synthesis on what’s going on in the field of TE control and RIP in the fungal world!
Out now in Trends in Genetics!
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.
Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature.
Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis.
