📄 A new study from the Earlham Institute and @rothamsted.bsky.social presents 9 near-complete #genome assemblies of take-all & related fungi, using @pacbio.bsky.social #HiFi sequencing. The results present a significant resource for studying important #fungal pathogens. @rowenahill.bsky.social
Evolutionary genomics reveals variation in structure and genetic content implicated in virulence and lifestyle in the genus Gaeumannomyces - BMC Genomics
Gaeumannomyces tritici is responsible for take-all disease, one of the most important wheat root threats worldwide. High-quality annotated genome resources are sorely lacking for this pathogen, as…
