Medical Mycology course at Woods Hole

The deadline for application to the Medical Mycology course held in the summer at Woods Hole is April 1st. This is a great hands-on course for practical laboratory techniques with medically relevant fungi. I am including an email from the course directors [...]

Lichen genome projects and the power shift prompted by next-gen sequencing

Genome Technology highlights the very cool thing about next-gen sequencing – it puts the power in the hands of the researchers to explore genome sequence and doesn’t limit them to projects only funded through sequencing centers. The Genome Technology piece highlights work at Duke to sequence the genome Cladonia grayi, a lichenized fungus, with 454 technology at Duke’s Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy through their next-gen sequencing program.
