Abstract Seminal work by Louis Pasteur revealed the contribution of fungi–yeasts and
microsporidia to agroindustry and disease in animals, respectively. More than 150 years …

Sexual reproduction enables genetic exchange in eukaryotic organisms as diverse as fungi,
animals, plants, and ciliates. Given its ubiquity, sex is thought to have evolved once, possibly …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast responsible for more than
600,000 deaths each year. It occurs as two serotypes (A and D) representing two varieties …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in the biology of various organisms,
including fungi, in which they are required for the trafficking of molecules across the cell wall …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

RNA interference is a biological process whereby small RNAs inhibit gene expression
through neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. This process is conserved in eukaryotes …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved eukaryotic gene regulatory mechanism that uses
small noncoding RNAs to mediate posttranscriptional/transcriptional gene silencing. The …

Mobile DNA, comprising both active and decaying copies of transposable elements (TEs), is
present in nearly all living organisms. Although fungal genomes tend to be significantly …

The importance of the Basidiomycete Cryptococcus neoformans to human health has
stimulated its development as an experimental model for both basic physiology and …

RNA interference (RNAi) was discovered at the end of last millennium, changing the way
scientists understood regulation of gene expression. Within the following two decades, a …
