Genome‐based estimates of fungal rDNA copy number variation across phylogenetic scales and ecological lifestyles

Molecular Ecology, 2019
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number variation (CNV) has major physiological implications for all organisms, but how it varies for fungi, an ecologically ubiquitous and important group of microorganisms, has yet to be systemically investigated.

The fungal mitochondrial genome project: evolution of fungal mitochondrial genomes and their gene expression

Current Genetics, 1997
The goal of the fungal mitochondrial genome project (FMGP) is to sequence complete mitochondrial genomes for a representative sample of the major fungal lineages; to analyze the genome structure, gene content, and conserved sequence elements of these sequences; and to study the evolution of gene expression in fungal mitochondria.

Mycotoxins: A Fungal Genomics Perspective

2016
The chemical and enzymatic diversity in the fungal kingdom is staggering. Large-scale fungal genome sequencing projects are generating a massive catalog of secondary metabolite biosynthetic genes and pathways. Fungal natural products are a boon and bane to man as valuable pharmaceuticals and harmful toxins.

Genomic approaches to fungal pathogenicity

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2002
Within a few years, the genome sequences of a large number of medically and agriculturally important fungi will be known. With this resource come the promises of genomic approaches to study pathogenicity and host-fungus interactions. Genomics is particularly attractive for these questions, as conventional genetic and biochemical approaches are limited ...

Genome-Based Discovery of an Unprecedented Cyclization Mode in Fungal Sesterterpenoid Biosynthesis.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2016
Sesterterpenoids are a group of terpenoid natural products that are primarily biosynthesized via cyclization of the C25 linear substrate geranylfarnesyl pyrophosphate (GFPP).

Genomic adaptation: a fungal perspective

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008
This month's Genome Watch focuses on the genome sequences of several fungal species with distinct and varied lifestyles. These range from a saprophytic existence in dung to symbiotic mycorrhizal associations with plant roots to parasitism of grain. Analyses of the genome sequences reveal how evolution has played a crucial part in shaping the genetic ...

Fungal genome sequencing and bioenergy

Fungal Biology Reviews, 2008
To date, the number of ongoing filamentous fungal genome sequencing projects is almost tenfold fewer than those of bacterial and archaeal genome projects. The fungi chosen for sequencing represent narrow kingdom diversity; most are pathogens or models.

Genomic Perspectives on the Fungal Kingdom

2014
Genome sequencing has provided a means for describing the complete genetic makeup of an organism. The application of sequencing technology to fungi has provided a wealth of data of interest to medical mycologists and to evolutionary and cellular biologists alike.

Genomics of Fungal Disease Resistance

2018
Fungal diseases are prevalent on maize, for which resistance is controlled by numerous genes where sequence variation more typically gives rise to quantitative rather than qualitative phenotypes. Genomics is facilitating advances in genetics and systems biology while opening the door for convergence between the two.
