This study examines how long-term use of Aspergillus sojae in soy fermentation shaped its population structure, genome variation, and phenotypic traits, revealing reduced genetic diversity and loss of aflatoxin production.

The paper examines genome-wide ortholog variation in 206 A. fumigatus isolates, finding no significant differences in ortholog distribution between clinical and environmental isolates after accounting for phylogeny.

This study uses genome-wide association analysis to identify genetic loci associated with itraconazole sensitivity in Aspergillus fumigatus clinical isolates, finding two SNPs linked to susceptibility and validating one through CRISPR/Cas-9 knockout.
