Habig M, Patneedi S, Stam R, De Fine Licht H
Heredity (Edinb) . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39929992
Horizontal transfer of entire chromosomes has been reported in several fungal pathogens, often significantly impacting the fitness of the recipient fungus. All documented instances of horizontal chromosome transfers (HCTs) showed...

Habig M, Grasse A, Muller J, Stukenbrock E, Leitner H, Cremer S
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Mar; 121(11):e2316284121. PMID: 38442176
Entire chromosomes are typically only transmitted vertically from one generation to the next. The horizontal transfer of such chromosomes has long been considered improbable, yet gained recent support in several...

Komluski J, Habig M, Stukenbrock E
mBio . 2023 Apr; 14(3):e0329022. PMID: 37093087
Meiosis is associated with genetic changes in the genome-via recombination, gene conversion, and mutations. The occurrence of gene conversion and mutations during meiosis may further be influenced by the chromatin...
4.
Komluski J, Stukenbrock E, Habig M
Chromosome Res . 2022 Jul; 30(2-3):241-253. PMID: 35881207
Non-Mendelian transmission has been reported for various genetic elements, ranging from small transposons to entire chromosomes. One prime example of such a transmission pattern are B chromosomes in plants and...

Habig M, Lorrain C, Feurtey A, Komluski J, Stukenbrock E
Nat Commun . 2021 Oct; 12(1):5869. PMID: 34620872
Mutations are the source of genetic variation and the substrate for evolution. Genome-wide mutation rates appear to be affected by selection and are probably adaptive. Mutation rates are also known...

Habig M, Schotanus K, Hufnagel K, Happel P, Stukenbrock E
Genes (Basel) . 2021 Jul; 12(7). PMID: 34208898
In host-pathogen interactions RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a pivotal mechanism to modify both, the immune responses of the host as well as the pathogenicity and virulence of the...

Moller M, Habig M, Lorrain C, Feurtey A, Haueisen J, Fagundes W, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2021 Mar; 17(3):e1009448. PMID: 33750960
DNA methylation is found throughout all domains of life, yet the extent and function of DNA methylation differ among eukaryotes. Strains of the plant pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici appeared to...

Feurtey A, Lorrain C, Croll D, Eschenbrenner C, Freitag M, Habig M, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2020 Aug; 21(1):588. PMID: 32842972
Background: Antagonistic co-evolution can drive rapid adaptation in pathogens and shape genome architecture. Comparative genome analyses of several fungal pathogens revealed highly variable genomes, for many species characterized by specific...

Gruner K, Esser T, Acevedo-Garcia J, Freh M, Habig M, Strugala R, et al.
Genes (Basel) . 2020 May; 11(5). PMID: 32392723
Barley mutants are well known for their profound resistance against powdery mildew disease. Recently, mutant plants were generated in hexaploid bread wheat () with the help of transgenic (transcription-activator-like nuclease,...

Habig M, Bahena-Garrido S, Barkmann F, Haueisen J, Stukenbrock E
Mol Plant Pathol . 2019 Nov; 21(1):124-138. PMID: 31702117
Zymoseptoria tritici is a filamentous fungus causing Septoria tritici blotch in wheat. The pathogen has a narrow host range and infections of grasses other than susceptible wheat are blocked early...
