The article on ploidy plasticity: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

"Two is better than one"- or is it? In a primer for a recently published article in @PLOSBiology, we discuss the significance of ploidy plasticity in the emergence of drug resistance in primarily asexual fungi! Do visit journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… for the primer.. @KaustuvSanyal

We are excited to announce the winners of the 2024 #AgarArt Contest! Congratulations to Jeeyoung Lee, our overall winner, for her piece titled, "Petri Dish Jazz Club." You can learn about the other winners on our website: asm.org/Events/ASM-Aga…

Registration is open for the Chromosome Stability 2024 to be held from 13-16 December @jncasr in Bangalore w/ @tvmiiser. Excellent opportunities to present your work and interact with top scientists in the field. conference.iisertvm.ac.in/chromosome-sta…

Moments of warm wishes and goodbyes at the farewell party of @Rashi57994301 .. To fond memories and new beginnings, Dr. Rashi!!

These are the most beautiful fungal spores! ❤️

Self-assembling patterns in nature occur at all scales, from the formation of galaxies to microscopic snowflakes. Just one drop of dye in alcohol over a bed of oil gives rise to a sea of evenly spaced droplets. An Inspiring visual for biologists, chemists, and physicists.

@Bhagya_C_T @UMontreal Congratulations!!

I am delighted to announce that I have successfully defended my thesis, titled "Interactions Between an Endophytic Fungus and Its Cranberry Plant Host," @UMontreal Dr. Bhagya C. THIMMAPPA 🎓 #passion #science #research

Time to ditch @BioRender? I had no idea they were claiming copyright to the figures we make with it, even after we pay for use of the service.

New Release! Once upon a time, Walter Mitty went on a secret adventure to escape his monotonous life. Do centromeres have a secret life beyond chromosome segregation on a longer time scale? @KaustuvSanyal @Reza_Hashim21 @PLOSPathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Hide-and-seek with the stealthy superbug: 'Briefly reporting' inclusion of the Iranian clade (clade 5) of Candida auris in the PCR-based clade identification (claID) system in Medical Mycology... @pavitra_1994 @rsidd120 @KaustuvSanyal @ISHAM_Mycology academic.oup.com/mmy/advance-ar…

Our 4th most read article of 2023 is all about psilocybin—the magic in the mushrooms! 🍄The compound may help treat various psychiatric conditions. What do scientists know about psilocybin in mental health care, and what is left to learn? asm.social/1DI

@ritoprova @RaviManjithaya @AL_JNCASR Congratulations!!

It's #MolluscMonday, and our Observation of the Day is the first Kannaropa subrugosa #snail posted to iNat! Seen in #Australia by tasmanian_cryptofauna. More details and photos at: inaturalist.org/observations/1… #nature #malacology #biodiversity #snails #gastropods

Microevolution of clade II isolates of Candida auris highlights multifaceted intra-clade heterogeneity in acquiring resistance towards amphotericin B biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For #FluorescenceFriday here's a montage of mitotic HeLa cells. Actin (🔥) and DNA (🔵) are shown

Our latest paper with RP's group @mbiojournal 'Directed Evolution Detects Supernumerary Centric Chromosomes Conferring Resistance to Azoles in Candida auris.' Great work by @AswathyN3 @jncasr & others, funded by @ICMRDELHI journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Our manuscript on how transcription factors interact in 3D chromatin (with @hannenhalli, L Narlikar, @rsidd120) is on biorxiv now. Brief summary in thread below.(1/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉NEW preprint🎉Qianhui Zheng—#wondergrad mentee—examined patterns of SNPs from the 537 genomes spanning 30 #fungal species (#Ascomycota), and found that there is no universal #mutational bias. In contrast, #bacteria have a universal AT mutational bias. 🔗tinyurl.com/26mmb46x
