Phylogenomics of Asgard archaea reveals a unique blend of prokaryotic-like horizontal transfer and eukaryotic-like gene duplication.

Asgard archaea hold a pivotal position in the tree of life as the closest known relatives to eukaryotes and are therefore crucial for understanding eukaryogenesis. Earlier genomic analyses revealed th...

We are exited to share our story just out in @natcomms.nature.com on how the yeast Candida albicans can exploit human albumin to engage an alternative pathogenicity pathway, not relying on previously uncovered virulence factors.

Host albumin redirects Candida albicans metabolism to engage an alternative pathogenicity pathway - Nature Communications

Candida albicans normally relies on specific pathogenicity mechanisms to cause tissue damage. This study reveals that when sensing host albumin, C. albicans, even avirulent strains, can trigger an alt...

Wonderful plenary talk by Toni Gabaldon @tonigabaldon.bsky.social at the @segenetica.bsky.social, who brings us the worrying world of emerging yeast pathogens. The origin of many pathogenic candida comes from hybridization of non-pathogenic species. The hybridization event happened in the wild.
