Genome sequencing of fungal pathogens have documented extensive variation in genome
structure and composition between species and in many cases between individuals of the …

With the advent of the genomics era during the last decade, we have witnessed a revolution
in our understanding of biological processes. Since 1995, the genomes, or genetic make-up …

Genetic variation is the stuff of evolution: if there is no variation, there can be no evolution.
This review of fungal genetic variation begins with a survey of its sources and then …

Many species of dematiaceous fungi are associated with allergic reactions and potentially
fatal diseases in human, especially in tropical climates. Over the past 10 years, we have …

Emerging fungal pathogens pose a serious, global and growing threat to food supply
systems, wild ecosystems, and human health. However, historic chronic underinvestment in …

FungiFun assigns functional annotations to fungal genes or proteins and performs gene set
enrichment analysis. Based on three different classification methods (FunCat, GO and …

Human fungal pathogens pose a major clinical challenge with the emergence of new
species, expanded geographic ranges impacting new populations, and the increasing …

Fungi are a diverse kingdom of organisms capable of thriving in various niches across the
world including those in close association with multicellular eukaryotes. Fungal pathogens …

Modern taxonomic classification is often based on phylogenetic analyses of a few molecular
markers, although single-gene studies are still common. Here, we leverage genome-scale …

From inconspicuous microorganisms to moulds to mushrooms, the biodiversity of
filamentous fungi is enormous. They are the major decomposers of plant-derived biomass …
