Affordable sequencing technology has made it possible to determine the genome sequence of many organisms. The fungal kingdom has had the fortune of more than 100 genomes completed and will continue to grow. We hope this blog can highlight some of the interesting happenings and scientific progress that is being made as well as share our fascination with fungi.
The banner image was compiled by Jason Stajich mostly from Nhu Nguyen’s pictures of macrofungi in our Mycology Flickr Pool which are ironically of fungi where for the most part there are no genome sequence projects! Please join the pool if you are interested in contributing pictures of fungi.
