Abstract

Genome sequences and postgenomic tools have had a major impact on fungal research. When the first fungal genome sequences became available it became clear how much more complex fungal biology was than had been previously assumed. Since then an increasing number of genomes have become available enabling detailed comparative studies, especially when combined with postgenomic tools such as transcriptomics and proteomics. This chapter provides an overview and current state of fungal genomics.
