Web alert: fungal genomics

Fungal genome initiative http://www.broad.mit.edu/node/304 This website provides information relevant to genomic data for fungi that are of interest because of their role in human or plant disease and for industrial processing. Genomic explorations of hemiascomycete yeasts http://cbi.labri.fr/Genolevures/ A research consortium maintains this website that deals with one specific fungal class. Th...

CFGP: a web-based, comparative fungal genomics platform

Since the completion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome sequencing project in 1996, the genomes of over 80 fungal species have been sequenced or are currently being sequenced. Resulting data provide opportunities for studying and comparing fungal biology and evolution at the genome level. To support such studies, the Comparative Fungal Genomics Platform (CFGP; http://cfgp.snu.ac.kr), a web-...

Editorial Current Fungal Genomics

Fungi are important to biotechnology including medicine, agriculture and industry fields. Over 100 fungi genome have been sequenced or are being sequenced between 2013/2015 including human and plant pathogens as well as fungi that serve as basic models for molecular and cellular biology. The fungal community working in genomic area is increasing dramatically recently. The obtained data is enabl...

Issues in Comparative Fungal Genomics

Biologists face an overwhelming richness of nucleotide and protein sequence data. By the middle of 2005, there were almost 300 complete genomes that were publicly accessible. Most of these were archeal or bacterial since prokaryotic genomes are much smaller than eukaryotic genomes. Among eukaryotes, fungi, particularly yeasts, have some of the smallest genome sizes and hence represent the highe...
