The mycota : a comprehensive treatise on fungi as experimental systems for basic and applied research / XIII, Fungal genomics / volume editor M. Nowrousian

The volume is divided into four sections, the first of which, __Genome Sequences and Beyond__, illustrates the impact of genome-based information and techniques on research ranging from model organisms like yeast to less-studied basal fungal lineages. Furthermore, it highlights novel types of analysis made possible by multi-genome comparisons as well as the impact of genomics on culture collections and vice versa. The second section, __Cell and Developmental Biology__, addresses questions that are important for fungal biology, e.g. the development of fungal fruiting bodies, and biology in general, e.g. chromatin organization and circadian rhythms. The third section, __Genomics for Biotechnology__, covers the search for plant biomass-converting enzymes in fungal genomes and work with industrially important fungi. The fourth section, focusing on __Pathogenicity,__ offers chapters on the genomic analysis of plant and animal/human pathogens. It illustrates how genomics at all levels, from genome to metabolome, is used to study mechanisms of the interactions of fungi with other organisms.
