The JGI in collaboration with our lab at Berkeley have released the Neurospora tetrasperma (mat A) and N. discreta (mat A) genome sequences and annotation after about two years of work. These are two closely related species to theThe N.tetrasperma assembly...
Postia placenta genome is now published in early edition of PNAS. Brown rotting fungi are import part of the cellulose degrading ecology of the forest as well (hopefully) providing some enzymes that will help in the ligin to biofuels process. Brown rotters...

Some tasty research if you are of the set who enjoy a good pint of beer. GenomeWebNews reports on a study in Genome Research by Barbara Dunn and Gavin Sherlock at Stanford, looking at the history of lager yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus, a hybrid of S. cerevisiae...
Looks like the USDA, Mars (the candy company), and IBM are partnering up to sequence the Cacao plants genome for everyone to use. Here is the article over at BBC News. © Chris Villalta for Fungal Genomes and Comparative Genomics, 2008. | Permalink | No...

Fastest Flights In Nature: High-speed Spore Discharge Mechanisms Among Fungi:Microscopic coprophilous or dung-loving fungi help make our planet habitable by degrading the billions of tons of feces produced by herbivores. But the fungi have a problem: survival...
For something a bit more on the fun side, at least if you enjoy a pint of beer now and then - a genomic-based study has reconstructed the origins by hybridization of the lager yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus, published in the journal Genome Research [Press...
Well, the Mars company has really done it now (see Unwrapping the Chocolate Genome -from washingtonpost.com). They are planning to sequence the cacoa genome. Genomes and chocolate. Man are they going to get every bioinformatics person I know to apply to help...
