Conservation of Synteny in Filamentous Fungi
My initial work with the M. grisea and N. crassa genomes reveals that many segments of conserved synteny (groups of orthologous genes that are found in close proximity to one another) can be found between the two species despite more … Continue reading
Maize Anthracnose
Phytopathogenic fungi of the genus Colletotrichum cause major damage to crops in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions world wide. Members of this genus cause economically significant diseases of cereals and grasses, legumes, vegetables and perennials crops including fruit trees. Colletotrichum … Continue reading
Functional Annotation of Proteins
The genomes of more than 30 fungi have been sequenced, however our knowledge of the gene content and function of these fungi is limited. Biologists are most confident in gene annotations that have been reviewed by teams of scientist but … Continue reading
