Shepard Fairley has gotten alot of notice lately for his Obama art that has been replicated pretty much everywhere. In homage to his earlier street art we’ll discuss the growing Aspergillus genome [...]

The JGI in collaboration with our lab at Berkeley have released the Neurospora tetrasperma (mat A) and N. discreta (mat A) genome sequences and annotation after about two years of work. These are two closely related species to the well studied laboratory workhorse Neurospora crassa. The N.tetrasperma assembly (8X) has an N50 of 976kb and is [...] I’m working to make more data available in the genome browsers for fungi. One is adding in the Primer information from the Neurospora KO project to the Neurospora browser to indicate the position and primer sequences for all the gene knockouts being (or already) constructed. At least 60% of the genes have been knocked out and [...] The Broad Institute in collaboration with many of the Coprinopsis cinereus (Coprinus cinerea) community of researchers have updated the genome annotation for C. cinereus with additional gene calls based on ESTs and improved gene callers. The annotation was made on the 13 chromosome assembly produced by work by SEMO fungal biology group and collaborators across [...]
There’s a nice quote in the news article from Steven Salzberg talking about the difficulties in getting sequences, especially from big centers, updated. I’m sure he is thinking of many examples, like reclassifying some Drosophila sequence [...]
I’ve been too busy to post much these last few days, but here are a few links to some papers I found interesting in my recent browsing.
Robin reviews recent Nature paper by Ilan Wapinski et al describing the orthogroups they built from multiple fungal genomes. I’ve been remiss in reviewing the paper myself, but they’ve created an important resource in the SYNERGY tool for orthology identification and a database of orthologs of some ascomycete fungi. I am excited there [...]
