FungiDB 2.3 released with 52 genomes

The latest release of FungiDB (2.3) is now live and includes 52 genomes, 11 of which are new for this release. This was a longer than expected release cycle due to reintegration with the EuPathDB software team. Programmers Raghu Ramamurthy and Edward Liaw at UC Riverside did nearly all the Fungal specific work, collaborating closely with the EuPathDB team who provided many site-specific corrections and assistance in running the workflow. This is a joint collaborative project between the UCR,Oregon State (FungiDB) and U Penn, Univ of Georgia (EuPathDB) and the work in this release was funded through grants from the Burroughs Welcome Fund, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the USDA-NIFA. An announcement for FungiDB 2.3 is here and included below. New genomes included in this release include Botrytis cinerea Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Aspergillus carbonarius Neosartorya fischeri Trichoderma reesei Schizosaccharomyces japonicus Schizosaccharomyces octosporus Phanerochaete chrysosporium Sporisorium reilianum Malassezia globosum Mucor circinelloides f. lusitanicus Mitochondrial genomes were added for the following organisms Aspergillus fumigatus Neurospora crassa Saccharomyces cerevisiae Schizosaccharomyces japonicus Schizosaccharomyces octosporus New genomics data available in this release include additional RNA-Seq experiments for Coprinopsis cinerea. High Throughput SNP (HTS) discovery module have been addded for Aspergillus fumigatus and a population of ...
