The Summary of the Database of Fungal Genomes Publicly Available

Abstract:

Genomics that indicates DNA sequence of genomes of different organisms and their genetics background is a core of discipline closely related with biology and medical research. The last decade has witnessed a revolution in the genomics of the fungal kingdom and fungi have become the best model organisms of the eukaryotes. By June of 2008, there were less than 80 fungal genomes that were completely or almost completely sequenced and publicly accessible representing the widest sampling of genomes from any eukaryotic kingdom. These genomes belonging to true fungi, Microsporidia and Oomyces vary in size from approximately 2.5 Mb to 81.5 Mb. This review here provides an overview of available fungal genomes.
