Presenter: Jason Slot, Assistant Professor of Plant PathologyTitle: Evolution first: history informs function in fungal genomesAbstract: Natural selection leaves its signature in multiple ways in the genomes of fungi. This is useful for understanding the ecological pressures these mysterious microorganisms have faced while becoming adapted to their current saprotrophic, mutualistic, and parasitic niches. But can genome evolution provide clues about gene functions? Here I present several cases in which evolutionary analyses accelerate the discovery of genetic mechanisms underpinning fungal ecological interactions with plants and animals.
