Pilon: An Integrated Tool for Comprehensive Microbial Variant Detection and Genome Assembly Improvement

TL;DR: Pilon is a fully automated, all-in-one tool for correcting draft assemblies and calling sequence variants of multiple sizes, including very large insertions and deletions, which is being used to improve the assemblies of thousands of new genomes and to identify variants from thousands of clinically relevant bacterial strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics reveals mobile pathogenicity chromosomes in Fusarium

Li-Jun Ma, +65 more
- 18 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequencing of Aspergillus nidulans and comparative analysis with A. fumigatus and A. oryzae

James E. Galagan, +50 more
- 22 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: The aspergilli comprise a diverse group of filamentous fungi spanning over 200 million years of evolution, and a comparative study with Aspergillus fumigatus and As pergillus oryzae, used in the production of sake, miso and soy sauce, provides new insight into eukaryotic genome evolution and gene regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of pathogenicity and sexual reproduction in eight Candida genomes.

TL;DR: There are significant expansions of cell wall, secreted and transporter gene families in pathogenic species, suggesting adaptations associated with virulence in Candida albicans species.
