After the BWF Fungal DB meeting

We had an impressive marshaling of fungal biologists, database builders, and sequencing centers to discuss what would be important for researchers, developing use cases to demonstrate what is needed by the community, and plotting some courses on how to get there.  A more formal meeting report is being prepared, but I can summarize that everyone [...]

Preparing for meeting on Fungal Genome databases

Next week a collection of international scientists with stakes in seeing fungal genome databases evolve and rise to meet the tide of genome data being produced and analyzed from fungi will be meeting in DC.  I am hopeful we’ll come up with some strategies and principles that can guide how this data can be more [...]

Save those fungal genetics photos

For those of you with cameras at Fungal Genetics this year, I’ve started a Flickr pool to archive and shared pictures. Feel free to join in and post pictures you’d like to share from the current or past Asilomar or European Fungal Genetics meetings.

Fungal genetics abstracts

The abstract book is posted for Fungal Genetics 2009 with a whopping 319 pages to read on your flight/drive/bike ride to the Asilomar conference center in Pacific Grove, CA this week.

See you there!

Scientific program for Fungal Genetics

The scientific program is up on the FGSC website. Plan out your dash between sessions, or where you will get that coffee break meeting. This will be the largest attended fungal genetics meeting yet so will be fun to see so many people enthusiastic about the field. Look forward to seeing some of the [...]

Medical Mycology course at Woods Hole

The deadline for application to the Medical Mycology course held in the summer at Woods Hole is April 1st. This is a great hands-on course for practical laboratory techniques with medically relevant fungi. I am including an email from the course directors [...]
