title: Next-generation sequencing and potential applications in fungal genomics.
abstract: Since the first fungal genome was sequenced in 1996, sequencing technologies have advanced dramatically. In recent years, it has become possible to cost-effectively generate vast amounts of DNA sequence data using a number of cell- and electrophoresis-free sequencing technologies, commonly known as "next" or "second" generation. In this chapter, we present a brief overview of next-generation sequencers that are commercially available now. Their potential applications in fungal genomics studies are discussed.
