fungal genomics

Fungal genomics is the study of the complete set of DNA in fungi, including their genes and how they function. By analyzing fungal genomes, scientists can understand how fungi grow, reproduce, interact with their environment, and cause diseases. This knowledge helps in developing medicines, improving agriculture, and understanding ecosystems. Advances in sequencing technology make it easier to decode fungal DNA quickly and accurately, providing insights into their biology and helping address health, agricultural, and environmental challenges.
