This is the title as listed in PubMed for this article from Future Medicine about the AAM report on charting future needs and avenues of research on the fungal kingdom. [...] Mike Challen has summarized discussion at two recent conferences regarding a Basidiomycete Research Network at his blog in a post on BRN – Summary of Discussions, 14/07/08. In particular it is important to establish a community network that will help basidiomycete labs. There is also a strong need for shared approaches for effective use the genomic data from the more than a dozen basidiomycete genomes currently being sequenced. [...]
[...] This is a research blog so I though I’d post some quick numbers we are seeing for de novo assembly of the [[Neurospora crassa]] genome using Velvet. The genome of N.crassa is about 40Mb and sequencing of several flow cells using Solexa/Illumina technology to see what kind of de novo reconstruction we’d get. [...] |
