A paper in PLoS Biology from Sandy Johnson’s lab entitled “Interlocking Transcriptional Feedback Loops Control White-Opaque Switching in Candida albicans” discusses phenotype switching in the human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Why is the [...]

I recently heard through the grapevine that the Mucor ircinelloides genome 4X assembly was completed by JGI and a BLAST server is available if you contact the authors. Mucorales (previously Zygomycota which is not monophyletic) includes previously sequenced Rhizopus oryzae and Phycomyces blakesleeanus which we’ve blogged about before. Mucor is model system for the Zygos/Mucorales as it can be Ed Louis at Nottingham sent out an email today outlining plans for publishing analyses of the Saccharomyces Genome Resequencing Project. They are in process of analyzing the data and ask that people respect their use of the data, but also invite collaborations and companion [...] This was sent along from the GSA. It is important to contact your represenative about the Vote in the Senate on NIH Funding. Reverting CUG tRNA from derived change coding for serine back to leucine (standard code) has profound effect on [...] For those within reach of Bay Area, Jonanthan Eisen (who recently posted about 3-day Biology and Mathematics in the Bay Area meeting) will be presenting at Bay Area BioSystematists meeting on Oct 16.

Nature has an overview of what goes in and out of next generation sequencers with an interview with a smiling Chad Nusbaum from the Broad Institute. Most of these have been out and about for a while, but it seems that the hayride/bandwagon is starting to pick up more steam as GT’s Genome Scan has several posts about sequencing referencing J. Craig V, Coprinus cinereus (renamed Coprinopsis cinerea) growing in the lab. The genome was sequenced, assembled into chromosomes, and annotated and we are working on the final analysis of it to describe some of the interesting biology about this little Coprophilic fungus. I’m excited to put up a few of my pictures of the tiny mushrooms growing in the lab (although others [...] |
