This study identifies horizontal gene transfers from Fusarium oxysporum to Fusarium xylarioides as a mechanism driving the repeated outbreaks of coffee wilt disease.

This study uses historical genome sequencing to show how two populations of Fusarium xylarioides evolved similar pathogenic traits through horizontal gene transfer from other Fusarium species.

The paper systematically analyzes genomic features of 26 parthenogenetic animals and finds that no feature is consistently replicated across transitions to asexuality, suggesting lineage-specific patterns.
