Fungal Genomics

This fully revised 3rd edition of Fungal Genomics highlights the impact of genomics on the field of fungal biology in four sections: Part I Genome Sequences and Beyond: Examines the impact of genome-based information and techniques on research ranging from the discovery of giant transposons to the analysis of less-studied extremotolerant fungi as well as studies of three-dimensional chromatin organization in fungi. Part II Cell and Developmental Biology: Explores advances in high-throughput genetics/genomics and RNA editing in fungi, the role of codons in gene regulation, and the analysis of epigenetic regulation in early-diverging fungi. Part III Biotechnology: Covers the search for plant biomass-converting enzymes in fungal genomes and work with industrially important fungi. Part IV Interactions Symbioses, Mutualisms, and Pathogens: Explains the genomic analysis of the emerging human pathogen Candida auris as well as genomic signatures in ectomycorrhizal fungi. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the exciting field of fungal genomics.
