We dive into the dynamics of #starships 🚀 in a fungal pathogen to ask: how might these giant #transposons impact human health? We find they drive genome-wide variation, encode clinically-relevant traits and even transpose within the same strain! 🍄🧪 out today in mBio #goteam doi.org/10.1128/mbio...
New risk maps developed by Sandip Mondal, @mycomile.bsky.social, Horacio Lopez-Nicora, and others, help soybean farmers spot charcoal rot before it strikes​​. 🫛 Read the press release: www.apsnet.org/about/newsro...

A campaign to match scientists who've been unjustly fired from federal positions with illustrators to tell their stories — this looks pretty neat
No “one size fits all” option exists for treating fungal infections in large part
due to genetic and phenotypic variability among strains. Accounting for strain heterogeneity
is thus fundamental for d...

🚨 Washington State asked a judge yesterday to hold the Trump admin in contempt for canceling a grant to Seattle Children’s to study gender-affirming care.
