1000 Genomes progress

Leave a comment

A quick update on this site to report we are continuing to sequence genomes at a fast pace due to the efforts of the DOE JGI’s work and collaborating labs preparing DNA and RNA. The number of genomes in the Mycocosm system is now more than 1000 and the 1KFG project has contributed many hundred to this effort. We are working phylogenetic and comparative genomic papers to describe more of what can be learned from these data about the evolution and biology of fungi.

1KFG updates – another 100 genomes

Leave a comment

We’ve been busy preparing DNA/RNA samples and data analsyes and bad about blogging about the data release progress — but see linked below the last 100 genomes released by JGI from 1KFG and other fungal projects over the last 9 months. There are more than 800  genomes in the JGI Mycocosm resource (counting a few that are about to be released as public).

Publications using these data are published or in press and will write a more complete summary in the coming months.

Lots of new 1KFG genomes

Leave a comment

Too many genomes to count and list and go into detail. See JGI recent releases here

I’ll highlight that 3 Neocallimastigomycota  genomes from early diverging lineages have been released including updated assemblies and annotations.

Several Mucoromycota and related genomes from the Zygolife project were also released.

JGI public genome releases late 2015 – Jan 2016

Leave a comment

Here are the most recently released fungal genomes at JGI through the 1KFG project and others. A lot of Basidiomycetes and a few species from the Zygolife project are these rolled out.

See many of you at Fungal Genetics@Asilomar next week or the JGI user meeting the following week. We are formulating some action plans for more sampling and also preparing a first dataset of 300 genomes for analysis and release. Will prepare update notes from the meetings and the current and future plans for sequencing through the JGI CSP and affiliated projects.
