The rapid increase in genomic and genome-scale data is resulting in unprecedented levels
of discrete sequence data available for phylogenetic analyses. Major analytical impasses …

In phylogenomics the evolutionary relationship of organisms is studied by their genomic
information. A common approach to phylogenomics is to extract related genes from each …

In this chapter, we give a short introduction to the genetics of complex disease with special
emphasis on evolutionary models for disease genes and the effect of different models on the …

Introduction Secondary metabolites of fungi are receiving an increasing amount of interest
due to their prolific bioactivities and the fact that fungal biosynthesis of secondary …

Botrytis cinerea is a fungal pathogen that causes necrotic disease on more than a thousand
known hosts widely spread across the plant kingdom. How B. cinerea interacts with such …

The availability of fungal genomes allows us to compare and contrast the metabolic
repertoire of different species in silico. Comparative metabolic analysis provides us with …

We present a novel method to measure the local GC-content bias in genomes and a survey
of published fungal species. The method, enacted as “OcculterCut”(https://sourceforge …

In the past decade, advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatic
pipelines for phylogenomic analysis have led to remarkable progress in fungal systematics …

The filamentous fungal family Aspergillaceae contains> 1,000 known species, mostly in the
genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. Fungi in Aspergillaceae display a wide range of …

Molecular evolution, based on the study of sequencing data, established itself as a
fundamental approach in the study of the history of living organisms (noticeably through the …
