The first of several dermatophyte fungal genomes, [[Microsporum gypseum]], has been released at the Broad Dermatophyte site. Two Tricophyton species and another Microsporum genome should follow soon. These dermatophyte fungi are Onygenales (Ascomycota) fungi (like Coccidioides and [...]

I’m excited about our projects to tackle the evolution of the Onygenales fungi. I just remembered to look and see what was going on with the Blastomyces genome sequencing at WashU. I checked and the Blastomyces dermatitidis genome sequence assembly version 3 was released in October 2007 and ESTs via 454 and ABI technologies are all available from WUSTL Genome Sequencing Center. With the Broad Institute release this week [...] The Broad Institute has made available additional genomes of strains of Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii. There are now genome sequences for 4 strains of C. immitis sequenced and 3 strains of C. posadasii including the C735 strain from the JCVI/TIGR. including the reference strain RS that is assembled into 7 supercontigs (there are probably 5 chromosomes) and annotated with ~10,000 genes. [...] The Baylor sequencing center has published the genome of two honey bee pathogens. Bayolor and collaborators recently published a slew of honey bee genome papers and it is great that they have also chosen to follow up on the parasites as [...] |
