Fungal Symbioses and Nanopore Sequencing

Jessica Allen from Eastern Washington University presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 on “Using nanopore sequencing to investigate genome evolution in fungal symbioses: ploidy, repetitive elements, and reproduction.” Allen studies fungi and mentioned that human fungal pathogens and those affecting plant systems are on the rise. Allen studies lichens. Lichenized fungi are diverse, abundant, […]
