Harbouring Starships: the accumulation of large horizontal gene transfers in domesticated and pathogenic fungi

S. O'Donnell, G. Rezende, J.-P. Vernadet, A. Snirc, J. Ropars

This study investigates the role of Starships, large horizontal gene transfers, in domesticated and pathogenic fungi, finding increased Starship content in strains from human-associated environments.

An old inversion polymorphism involving giant mobile elements in an invasive fungal pathogen

F. E. Hartmann, R. C. Rodriguez de la Vega, A. Demene, T. Badet, J.-P. Vernadet, Q. Rougemont, A. Labat, A. Snirc, L. Stauber, D. Croll, S. Prospero, C. Dutech, T. Giraud

The paper identifies a non-recombining genomic region in the invasive fungus Cryphonectria parasitica linked to the mating-type locus, showing balanced haplotype segregation and potential adaptation through mobile elements.

Repeated loss of function at HD mating-type genes and of recombination suppression without mating-type locus linkage in anther-smut fungi

E. A. Lucotte, P. Jay, Q. Rougemont, L. Boyer, A. A. Cornille, A. Snirc, A. Labat, E. Chahine, M. Duhamel, J. Gendelman, W.-J. Ma, R. K. Hayes, M. H. Perlin, M. Hood, R. C. Rodriguez de la Vega, T. Giraud

The paper shows that HD mating-type genes have lost function in three Microbotryum species, with PR genes controlling mating compatibility, and reports evolutionary strata from recombination suppression.

Generation of diversity in the blue cheese mold Penicillium roqueforti and identification of pleiotropic QTL for key cheese-making phenotypes

T. Caron, E. Crequer, M. Le Piver, S. Le Prieur, B. Sammy, A. Snirc, G. Cueff, D. Roueyre, M. Place, C. Chassard, A. Simon, R. C. Rodriguez de la Vega, M. Coton, E. Coton, M. Foulongne-Oriol, , T. Giraud

This study identifies pleiotropic QTLs for key cheese-making traits in Penicillium roqueforti by analyzing F1 hybrids from cheese and non-cheese populations.

A new cheese population in Penicillium roqueforti and adaptation of the five populations to their ecological niche

E. Crequer, J. Ropars, J.-L. Jany, T. Caron, M. Coton, A. Snirc, J.-P. Vernadet, A. Branca, T. Giraud, E. Coton

The paper identifies a new population of Penicillium roqueforti specific to French Termignon cheese and examines adaptation of five populations to their ecological niches.

Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in the fungus Schizothecium tetrasporum (Ascomycota, Sordariales)

N. Vittorelli, A. Snirc, E. Levert, V. Gautier, C. Lalanne, E. De Filippo, R. C. Rodriguez de la Vega, P. Gladieux, S. Guillou, Y. Zhang, S. Tejomurthula, I. V. Grigoriev, R. Debuchy, P. Silar, T. Giraud, F. Hartmann

This paper shows that recombination is suppressed around the mating-type locus in Schizothecium tetrasporum, a fungus in the Sordariales order, leading to self-fertile dikaryotic spores through stepwise recombination suppression.

Congruent population genetic structures and divergence histories in anther-smut fungi and their host plants Silene italica and the S. nutans species complex

F. E. Hartmann, A. Snirc, A. Cornille, C. Gode, P. Touzet, F. Van Rossum, E. Fournier, S. Le Prieur, J. Shykoff, T. Giraud

The paper examines the population genetic structure of anther-smut fungi and their host plants, finding congruent divergence histories and no recent gene flow between fungal lineages parasitizing different host plant species.
