PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Fungal genomics, evolution, and host adaptation

Fungi have highly plastic genomes and rapid reproductive cycles, making them fascinating organisms in which to study genome evolution and host adaptation. They also pose a significant threat to agriculture and food production, making them economically important.
