Large-scale analyses reveal the contribution of adaptive evolution in pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungal species

D. Pereira, M. D. Bolton, T. L. Friesen, W. Stephan, J. Y. Dutheil, E. H. Stukenbrock

This study analyzes 2,478 fungal genomes to compare adaptive evolution rates across 20 species, finding that high adaptation rates are not exclusive to pathogens.

The de novo reference genome and transcriptome assemblies of the wild tomato species Solanum chilense

R. Stam, T. Nosenko, A. C. Hörger, W. Stephan, M. Seidel, J. M. M. Kuhn, G. Haberer, A. Tellier

This study generates the first genome and transcriptome assembly for Solanum chilense, a wild tomato species, and demonstrates its utility in comparative genomics and stress adaptation research.

Neutral genomic signatures of host-parasite coevolution.

D. Zivkovic, S. John, M. Verin, W. Stephan, A. Tellier

The paper models host-parasite coevolution and shows that parasite population size changes can be detected in neutral polymorphism data, while host changes cannot due to differing mutation and drift dynamics.
