IMC9 Registration Open

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 [...]

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 [...]

Attend Fungal Genetics 2009!

If you are interested in fungal genetics and genomics, comparative biology, and of course dancing with fungal geneticists, plan to attend the 25th Fungal Genetics Meeting held at the beautiful Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. Below is info sent out from the Policy Committee and registration opens in a little over a month.  Budding (and conidiating) artists can also submit a Logo [...]

Basidiomycete genomes galore

Just finished attending Genetics and Cell Biology of Basidiomycetes in Cape Girardeau, MO which was an intimate gathering of basidiomycetaphiles.  I learned about systems that are used for studying fruiting body development, genetic mapping, pheromone and mating genes, kinesin dynamics, meoitic gene regulation, and a host of topics.  I’m happy I got a chance to meet more folks in the community and learned about where informatics is [...]

Summer 2008, Mycological Meetings

A few of the summer meetings that relate to fungal biology and evolution. 

Fungal Genetics 2007 details

I’m including a recapping as many of the talks as I remember. There were 6 concurrent sessions each afternoon so you have to miss a lot of talks. The conference was bursting at the seams as it was- at least 140 people had to be turned away beyond the 750 who attended.

If there was any theme in the conference it was “Hey we are all using these genome [...]
