Many species of fungi and oomycetes are plant pathogens of great economic importance.
Over the past 7 years, the genomes of more than 30 of these filamentous plant pathogens …

Human cancer cell lines are an integral part of drug discovery practices. However, modeling
the complexity of cancer utilizing these cell lines on standard plastic substrata, does not …

Genomic plasticity enables adaptation to changing environments, which is especially
relevant for pathogens that engage in “arms races” with their hosts. In many pathogens …

We present the genome sequences of a new clinical isolate of the important human
pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus, A1163, and two closely related but rarely pathogenic …

Industrial penicillin production with the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum is
based on an unprecedented effort in microbial strain improvement. To gain more insight into …

The rice blast pathosystem has been the subject of intense interest in part because of the
importance of the disease to world agriculture, but also because both Magnaporthe oryzae …

We sequenced and compared the genomes of the Dothideomycete fungal plant pathogens
