Chromosomal fusions shaped the genome of the greater hornwrack bryozoan (Flustra foliacea) (Linnaeus, 1758) The phylum Bryozoa is an understudied, yet commonly-occurring, globally distributed bilaterian metazoan organismal group. They have a colonial lifestyle and an evolutionary history that spans at least...

#marineinvert folks, not many #bryozoa genomes, here’s a new one, a Norwegian Flustra foliacea www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Genome is "large" (at c. 900Mb). Lead by Helle Baalsrud (NMBU) and Ole Tørresen (UiO). @ebpgenome.bsky.social Norway @kjetillsj.bsky.social

In #G3journal, @baalsrud.bsky.social et al. show massive genomic rearrangements and low conservation in how Mucor circinelloides fungi strains regulate genes under calcium stress, suggesting why they produce oils & pigments differently. buff.ly/viA5rIy

Calcium starvation leads to strain-specific gene regulation of lipid and carotenoid production in Mucor Circinelloides Abstract. Fungi are pivotal in transitioning to a bio-based, circular economy due to their ability to transform organic material into valuable products suc

New study on fungi: We found massive genomic rearrangements & low conservation in how two Mucor circinelloides strains regulate genes under calcium stress. This explains why they produce oils & pigments so differently. doi.org/10.1093/g3jo...
