The Mucormycotina (formerly Zygomycota) fungus Mucor circinelloides Genome Portal is now publicly available at http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Mucci1/Mucci1.home.html. If you are planning to attend the Fungal Conference in Asilomar, there will be a JGI Workshop on March 19, 2009 at noon in Chapel to show how to use the manual curation tools. A quick post of some recent comparative genomics papers on our desk that are worth a look. Khaldi N, Wolfe KH (2008) Elusive Origins of the Extra Genes in Aspergillus oryzae. PLoS ONE 3(8): e3036. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0003036. This was a cool but somewhat controversal [...] I recently heard through the grapevine that the Mucor ircinelloides genome 4X assembly was completed by JGI and a BLAST server is available if you contact the authors. Mucorales (previously Zygomycota which is not monophyletic) includes previously sequenced Rhizopus oryzae and Phycomyces blakesleeanus which we’ve blogged about before. Mucor is model system for the Zygos/Mucorales as it can be 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 [...] |
