title: Use of genome information for the study of the pathogenesis of fungal infections and the development of diagnostic tools.
abstract: One of the most exciting advances in Mycology is the application of genomic approaches. The advent of genomics, together with post-genomic studies, promises to revolutionize the studies on the pathogenesis of fungal infections. Approaches include comparative genomics to identify sequences that contribute to infection and disease and functional genomics and proteomics to analyze global patterns of gene and protein expression involved in fungal pathogenesis.
