PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Fungal bioinformatics

Identifying genes associated with mycorrhizae

Next generation genome sequencing provide multiple opportunities to compare genomes of fungi which are either pathogens or mycorrhizae, in an attempt to gain an understanding of the genes involved in beneficial plant-fungus interactions.

This project is open to PhD students
