Great initiative by @thie0149 and @Chris_Faulk_bio: Sequencing the Corn Dog as outreach @mnstatefair, highlighting the technology we use for more serious clinical research projects! It made the @colbertlateshow! z.umn.edu/Corndog_Colbert z.umn.edu/Corndog_StarTr…

A great day today! It was a pleasure to defend my PhD thesis with these awesome paranymphs Meredith and Isabelle on my side, including great discussions with these highly esteemed opponents! Many thanks to my promotor Teun and copromotor Tom!

@ferryhagen @FungusCrous Just a little ;)

@FungusCrous 24 years of studying Malassezia makes you a little balder @theelen_bart

Our #Malassezia comparative mitogenomics paper is now published in Scientific Reports! nature.com/articles/s4159… @AnastChrist @VassiliKouvelis @_Westerdijk_ #mitogenomics

New preprint led by @MacroACoelho with @giuseppe_ianiri @DukeHeitman: Genetic and genomic analysis of #Malassezia #mating evolution: possible connection between hyphal development, sexual reproduction, and pathogenicity. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… @_Westerdijk_

Final dates are now set for 12th International Mycological a Congress on 11-15 August 2024. Mark your calendars! See you all in Maastricht! #IMC12 #fungi #mycology #conference

New preprint: Comparative mitogenomics of all Malassezia species identifies Large Inverted Repeats (LIRs) in most species and discovers co-evolution of LIRs with G4-DNA, facilitating both genome diversity and a propensity for mitogenome stability. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Thanks to @Forbes @ForbesScience for capturing one of the coolest #yeast species we've described! forbes.com/sites/davidbre… #fantasticyeasts @CobusVisagie2 @Fabiteam1 @UPnasagric @UPTuks @theelen_bart @_Westerdijk_ @_knaw You can read the full article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Great new study lead by Sonja Gringhuis, resulting from a fruitful and longstanding collaboration with the Experimental Immunology group at AMC, unraveling the mechanisms directing non-pathogenic Th17 responses to fungi. nature.com/articles/s4159… @_Westerdijk_ @_knaw

Today’s #NobelPrize winner Svante Pääbo is a true authority on the study of ancient DNA. He was the first to successfully clone DNA from a mummy, and in 2009, he completed sequencing of the Neanderthal genome (in collaboration with Jim Mullikin @genome_gov!).

Interesting advancements in cancer research with links to fungi! nature.com/articles/d4158…

(1/4) Did you know that there are bacteria in human tumors? Well, this is old news now 😊. Our new study, featured on the cover of @CellCellPress, shows that human tumors contain fungi as well and that tumor fungi matter! (Cover by @munafomarzia) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
