Examining the efficacy of a genotyping-by-sequencing technique for population genetic analysis of the mushroom Laccaria bicolor and evaluating whether a reference genome is necessary to assess homology [PDF]
, 2016 Given the diversity and ecological importance of Fungi, there is a lack of population genetic research on these organisms. The reason for this can be explained in part by their cryptic nature and difficulty in identifying genets.

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Impact of genomics on fungal biology [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2007 Fungi represent an extremely diverse and complex class of organisms, and their categorization as lower eukaryotes should by no means be mistaken as meaning low-end. At present, fungi serve as model systems for various aspects of molecular and cellular biology, for example cell cycle regulation, intracellular signaling, metabolic pathway analysis and ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019 Lignocellulosic plant biomass is an important feedstock for bio-based economy. In particular, it is an abundant renewable source of aromatic compounds, which are present as part of lignin, as side-groups of xylan and pectin, and in other forms, such as ...

Fungal ecological strategies reflected in gene transcription - a case study of two litter decomposers. [PDF]
, 2019 Microbial communities interplay with their environment through their functional traits that can be a response or an effect on the environment. Here, we explore how a functional trait-the decomposition of organic matter, can be addressed based on genetic ...
