Comparative genomics and transcriptomics of the Boxwood Blight Pathogens Calonectria henricotiae and C. pseudonaviculata
A systems biology investigation of the interactions between the boxwood blight pathogens, Calonectria henricotiae and C. pseudonaviculata, and boxwood plants using multiple omics technologies to predict genes that can be used as biomarkers for pathogen detection. Using a combination of genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics to understand the pathogens biology and elucidate mechanisms used by the pathogen to cause disease on its host that single technologies are unable to identify.
