Fungal genomics is a scientific discipline that concerns the genome, encompassing the entire hereditary information, of fungi. Fungal genomics can, for example, be used to study fungal evolution or outbreaks of fungal infections.
Frequent chromosome fusion and fission in oomycetes drive changes in chromosome number. Here, Zhang et al show that these dynamics facilitate the adaptive evolution of genes related to pathogenicity.
This study reports sequencing, assembly, and characterization of the genome and transcriptome of Wolfiporia cocos. In addition, Three CYP450s were identified to be involved in the biosynthesis of its active component, pachymic acid.
This study shows that healthy individuals are reservoirs for genotypically and phenotypically diverse Candida albicans strains that retain their capacity to cause disease.
This month’s Genome Watch highlights the genomic traits underlying the ancestral association between endobacteria, which live inside arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which reside within plants.
This study reports that extensive copy number variations occur in the presence of azole antifungal drugs in Candida albicans, which might cause phenotypic and population-level heterogeneity observed in clinical isolates.
This study reports the discovery of human-pathogenic filamentous Aspergillus latus allodiploid hybrids that are phenotypically distinct from the parental species.
