Filamentous fungi website ideas

Updated version

• Descriptions of species and known symbiotic relationships
• Status of sequencing of fungal and plant genomes
• Searchable databases of fungal and plant genomes
  • Could have EST, GSS, and gene and gene product sequences
• Monthly Batch BLAST results for:
  • tblastx: fungi vs other DNA databases
  • blastx: fungi vs protein database(s)
• Database of multiple alignments and phylogenetics of fungal protein families (could be part of "gene families" in comparative genomics)
• Databases of SSRs
• Comparative genomics of filamentous fungi, to include views of:
  • Life styles/life histories
  • Gene families
  • Metabolic pathways and networks
  • Synteny (gene order)
  • Gene expression (RNA and protein)
• Future: Genome browers and annotation tools
• Models for website:
  • TIGR Comprehensive Microbial Resource
  • DOE Joint Genome Institute (see white rot)
  • Saccharomyces Genome Database
  • Phytophthora Functional Genomics Database
  • Fungal Genomics Laboratory
  • Fungal Genome Initiative
  • De!CIFR Genome Analysis
  • MIPS Comprehensive Yeast Genome Database
  • Central Aspergillus Data Repository (CADRE)
  • Phytopathogenic Fungi and Oomycete EST Database
  • MIPS Neurospora crassa
