The bioBakery 3 platform enables improved, integrated, and strain-level analysis of microbial communities from large-scale meta-omic data.

β-1,6-Glucan is crucial for Candida albicans cell wall structure and integrity, adapting dynamically to environmental stresses and compensating for mannan deficiencies in cell wall organization.

Template switching during DNA replication is a frequent source of adaptive gene amplification.

Assessment of DNA methylation, histone modifications, and DNA accessibility revealed that physical DNA characteristics are associated with adaptive genome evolution in the broad host range plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae.

Proximity and homology guided inter-chromosomal translocations drive karyotype evolution.

A naturally-occurring small molecule acts as a chemical chaperone in vivo to alter the folding of a budding yeast septin and promote an oligomerization pathway that was lost during evolution.

The release of Acb1 protein from yeast cells requires the ESCRT-III complex to stabilize the compartment for unconventional protein secretion (CUPS).

Coevolution analysis suggests that a DNA methylation-related role for the nucleosome remodeling ATPase HELLS and its activator CDCA7 was broadly inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.
