EMBO Workshop on Evolutionary and Environmental Genomics of Yeasts
A link to the story about Matteo Garbelotto’s work on Phytophthora ramorum and showing that the source in California is likely from ornamentals from a nursery. The work is to appear soon in Molecular Ecology but alas is not available yet. A recent paper on updated Phytophthora phylogeny from Jamie Blair and co-authors is also out in FGB. [...]
A few of the summer meetings that relate to fungal biology and evolution.
Here’s a fungal infection you don’t hear much about. One of the fungi we work on, a model for mushroom development as it can be fruited in the lab is Coprinopsis cinerea (previously named Coprinus cinereus). C. cinerea is a saprobric coprophillic fungus so it is usually found on dung. Although rare in human infections there are a few reports in immunocopromised patients. [...]
Not that I’m a bioengineer, but I like to hang out with those types. Check out the now posted the MP3 of the RadioLab synthetic biology story I blogged about before. Listen to the whole thing but you can skip ahead to about 39:00 to the “BioEngineer’s [...] |
