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 [...]

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 [...] Registration for the 9th International Mycological Congress, held 1-6 of August, is now open. This looks to be an exciting, dynamic, and broad conference on fungal biology covering a great breadth of topics. These include: intricate look at fungal cell biology using microscopy, genetic and molecular biology tools; Evolution of fungi through systematics and comparative biology [...] Don’t forget to register for Neurospora 2010 held at the beautiful Asilomar Conference center in Pacific Grove, CA held April 8-11, 2010. Get your filamentous fungi fix here! Also save the date for some other important upcoming conferences you may consider attending American Society of Microbiology, Candida and Dimorphic Fungi Meeting, March 22-26, Miami, FL, USA New and Emerging Fungal Diseases of Animals and Plants : evolutionary aspects in the context of global changes Roscoff,Brittany FRANCE April 17, 2010 The CNRS and Conferences Jaques Monod are hosting a 4-day meeting at the French Marine Biology research station in Roscoff, Brittany on the evolution and dynamics of emerging fungal pathogens. This meeting will [...] 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! 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 [...] 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 [...] |
