Diversity within the fungal kingdom is evident from the wide range of morphologies fungi
display as well as the various ecological roles and industrial purposes they serve …

Like other domains of life, research into the biology of filamentous microbes has greatly
benefited from the advent of whole-genome sequencing. Next-generation sequencing …

Background The number of sequenced fungal genomes is ever increasing, with about 200
genomes already fully sequenced or in progress. Only a small percentage of those genomes …

The kingdom Fungi comprises species that inhabit nearly all ecosystems. Fungi exist as both
free-living and symbiotic unicellular and multicellular organisms with diverse morphologies …

Fungal genomes vary considerably in size and organization. The genome of Microsporidium
contains less than 3 Mb while the genomes of several Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes …

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

Genomic data has opened new possibilities to understand how organisms change over
time, and could enable the discovery of previously undescribed species. Although taxonomy …

The last decade has witnessed a revolution in the genomics of the fungal kingdom. Since
the sequencing of the first fungus in 1996, the number of available fungal genome …

In this review I give a personal perspective of how fungal biology has changed since I
started my Ph. D. in 1963. At that time we were working in the shadow of the birth of …

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