The genus Aspergillus comprises a group of ubiquitous filamentous fungi for which more than 185 species have been described, including many human and plant pathogens, as well as industrially relevant organisms. Recently, the genomes of three Aspergillus species have been analysed, providing a unique opportunity to compare a human opportunistic pathogen, an industrially important fungus and a model organism, all in a single genus.
