Advancing Fungal Genomics Research

Exploring the evolutionary dynamics of fungal pathogens through cutting-edge genomics and computational biology.

Researching the evolutionary dynamics of accessory genomes and giant TEs in species of filamentous fungi

Research in the FungAGE Lab involves understanding how Fungi evolve traits that allow them to cause disease in other organisms. We use comparative genomics along with genetic analyses to investigate factors that promote virulence.

A major aim is to understand the origin and maintenance of accessory genomes, particularly in species of the plant pathogen, Fusarium.
