A nice series of comparative genomics articles have been published in the last few weeks. The pace of genome sequencing has accelerated to the point that we have lots of sequencing projects coming from individual labs and small consortia not necessarily from genome centers. We are seeing a preview of what next (2nd) generation [...]

Genome sequencing is underway on several early branches in the Opisthokont and some related linages as part of the “Origins of Multicellularity” project at the Broad Institute (BI) include some recently made available assemblies for: Allomyces macrogynus (Blastocladiomycota “Chytrid”) Already available data from Monosiga brevicolis (JGI) Still in progress (BI) Amastigomonas sp Too much on my plate as of late, so I’m woefully behind on posting much on interesting papers or news. Here’s a short list of links and papers that are worth a look though. “Evolution of pathogenicity and sexual reproduction in eight Candida genomes” published (Nature)
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 [...]
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 [...]
Looks like the USDA, Mars (the candy company), and IBM are partnering up to sequence the Cacao plants genome for everyone to use. Here is the article over at BBC News.
