TheiaEuk: a species-agnostic bioinformatics workflow for fungal genomic characterization
IntroductionThe clinical incidence of antimicrobial-resistant fungal infections has dramatically increased in recent years. Certain fungal pathogens colonize various body cavities, leading to life-threatening bloodstream infections.

Genome Sequence of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica EP155: A Fundamental Resource for an Archetypical Invasive Plant Pathogen. [PDF]
Cryphonectria parasitica is the causal agent of chestnut blight, a fungal disease that almost entirely eliminated mature American chestnut from North America over a 50-year period. Here, we formally report the genome of C. parasitica EP155 using a Sanger

Genome-scale phylogeny and contrasting modes of genome evolution in the fungal phylum Ascomycota
The 1107 genomes yield a robust phylogenomic timetree and reveal contrasting modes of evolution in the largest fungal phylum. Ascomycota, the largest and most well-studied phylum of fungi, contains three subphyla: Saccharomycotina (budding yeasts ...

Dancing genomes: fungal nuclear positioning [PDF]
The many different mechanisms that fungi use to transmit and share genetic material are mediated by a broad range of chromosome and nuclear dynamics. The mechanics underlying nuclear migration are well integrated into detailed models, in which the forces supplied by plus- and minus-end-directed microtubule motors position and move the nucleus in a cell.

Fungal Genomic Annotation [PDF]
Sequencing technology in the last decade has advanced at an incredible pace. Currently there are hundreds of microbial genomes available with more still to come. Automated genome annotation aims to analyze this amount of sequence data in a high-throughput fashion and help researches to understand the biology of these organisms.
