- Sequencing Pseudomonas fluorecens L5.1-96 genome
- Take all, a fungal disease, represents a serious threat to wheat production.
The bacterium Pseudomonas fluorecens L5.1-96 provides a potential solution to take all.
Students in this course sequence the genome and identify new genes that play a role in disease control.
Prerequisite is Bio 160 or Bio 211 or instuctor permission.
- Fungal Molecular Systematics
-
Soil fungi present a treasure trove of new and exciting organisms and the possibile discovery of new antibiotics,
anti-cancer drugs, or other health-related biomolecules. Our mission is to sequence DNA from samples in Prof. Martha Christensen's soil microfungal collection and organize
the fungal strains within the fungal family tree.
