Abstract
Unicellular fungi with free-living flagellated stages (zoospores) remain poorly known. Here, Galindo et al. sequence single-cell genomes for two atypical parasitic fungi with amoeboid zoospores, and re-evaluate the branching order of early-diverging fungi and the evolution of fungal multicellularity and flagellum-mediated motility.
