7th International Conference on Mushroom Biology & Mushroom Products

The ICMBMP7 steering committee are requesting abstracts of proposed presentations for the meeting that will be held in beautiful Arcachon, France, October 4-7, 2011. 

The conference is organised in cooperation with the World Society of Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products.

ICMBMP7 will provide a forum for numerous areas of mushroom biology including: 

• Genomics, Genetics, Molecular biology and breeding 
• Evolution, biodiversity and systematics 
• Biochemistry, Physiology, Nutritional and Medicinal aspects, Innovative products from mushrooms
• Cultivation technology and bioconversion

Abstracts can be submitted online before the April 30, 2011 deadline. Further details are available at the conference website

'MycoCosm' portal for JGI Fungal Genomes and Exploration of Fungal Diversity

Writing about web page http://genome.jgi-psf.org/pages/fungi/home.jsf

Genome sequences for Agaricus bisporus var bisporus (H97) and var burnettii (JB137-S8) are available through the JGI's 'MycoCosm' portal.  Fungal Genome sequences and other opportunities to explore Fungal Diversity are layered over a Fungal Tree of Life GUI. This resource should rapidly expand as fungal genomes continue to pour out of the JGI sequencing pipeline. It's never been easier to explore fungal genomes: Go on, click on a branch!

Pre–release of Agaricus bisporus var. burnettii JB137–S8 genome

A pre-release of Agaricus bisporus var. burnettii JB137-S8 genome assembly and annotation is available to the community through the JGI portal.

This pre-release is currently restricted access and a JGI login is required. If you want to access the JB137-S8 portal contact MC for further instructions. It is expected that the Agaricus bisporus var. burnettii JB137-S8 genome
portal will available to the public after 14 May 2010.

Statistics on the assembly and annotation of JB137-S8 in comparison to the Agaricus bisporus var bisporus H97 genome are shown in the JGI tables below:

Public Release of Agaricus bisporus var bisporus H97 Genome Sequence

The Agaricus bisporus var bisporus H97 genome is now available to the public via the JGI portal. Annotations of the v2.0 assembly are available at http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Agabi_varbisH97_2 Detailed statistics on the assembly and annotation of the A. bisporus var bisporus H97 genome can be found on the Info page of the JGI portal: http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Agabi_varbisH97_2/Agabi_varbisH97_2.info.html

Community annotation and analysis of the Agaricus bisporus genomes are continuing. Additional contributions are invariably welcomed, please contact MC if you would like to join the community effort. Please respect the community rules and JGI data release policy for publication rights of the genome-wide analyses: http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Agabi_varbisH97_2/Agabi_varbisH97_2.download.html

Agaricus bisporus var. burnettii JB137–S8 draft genome

The JGI have released a draft genome sequence for a second Agaricus homokaryon JB137-S8 (the tetrasporic Agaricus bisporus var. burnettii). JB137-S8 genome was sequenced using 454/Illumina technology and assembled by comparisons with the lead H97 genome (Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus). A brief summary of the JB137-S8 assembly and a dotplot comparison between the var. bisporus and var. burnettii genomes are attached.

JGI are currently progressing annotation of the JB137-S8 genome, after which the standard browser and tools for comparative analysis will become available. Collaborators interested in accessing JB137-S8 data prior to that time should contact MC for further information.

H97 Genome Browser Portal Training

	A two part training exercise in the use of the Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus H97 Genome Portal has been organised by the JGI. All collaborators involved in the H97 annotation effort are welcome to participate in the two 'dial-in' conference call sessions.
	Session I -- Mon, Nov 23, 8:00--9:30am Pacific Standard Time (16:00 -- GMT) will cover use of the Browser, Protein and Annotation pages Session II -- Wed, Nov 25 (8:00am PST / 16:00 GMT) will cover the KEGG/KOG/GO browsers, track editor and the clustering tools

Participants may find it beneficial to view the manual curation exercises available on the JGI pages <here>

Collaborators who would like to take part in this training (and have not already registered) should contact Mike C in advance of the event for further instructions

Revised Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus (H97) v2.0 genome assembly

The JGI have announced the pre-release of an improved Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus (H97) 8.50x genome assembly, which integrates linkage mapping data.

We are grateful to Anton Sonnenberg, Marie Foulongne and Rick Kerrigan for sharing data and their work mapping various markers to the v2 scaffolds.

This H97 v2.0 genome browser is now available for community annotation inputs.

In order to access the browser and make annotations, users will need to register with the JGI and the project team will need to approve the request. If you are interested in joining the annotation effort please contact the Agaricus genome team.

Agaricus bisporus 8x Assembly Revised

The JGI have issued a revision of the 8X genome assembly for Agaricus bisporus (H97, lead homokaryon).  Jeremy Schmutz of the JGI has provided an assembly report/update JGIupdate_200908

This is an update to the initial draft release (2009 03) and incorporates two additional breaks based on the linkage mapping data provided by Anton Sonnenberg and colleagues. Many thanks to Anton and Jeremy Schmutz for their work on this. 

This draft genome will now go into genome improvement, additional joins may yet be made to complete the chromosomes.
