Abstract: Genomes with influence More than 300 labs worldwide are using the fungus Aspergillus nidulans as a model system for molecular genetics, and other species of this fungus are important in everyday life. A package of three genomics papers in this issue covers the Aspergillus field comprehensively. Galagan et al. report the genome sequence of the laboratory classic A. nidulans, and Nierman et al. have sequenced A. fumigatus, known chiefly as a human pathogen and allergen. And finally Machida et al. present genome sequencing and analysis of A. oryzae, focusing in particular on the expansion of genes in its genome, which is almost 25% bigger than the other two genomes. A. oryzae is used in traditional Chinese and Japanese food fermentation (think soy sauce) and also in enzyme production by biotechnologists.
