Two Projects proposed by IAM members have been selected by the DOE Joint Genome Institute (Community Science Program Sequencing Plans for 2014)

The first project is coordinated by S. Duplessis and entitled: “Combined population genomics and transcriptomics to decipher the molecular bases of virulence and host adaptation in the poplar leaf rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina”

The second project involving F. Martin as co-PI is entitled: “Comparative genomics of early diverging terrestrial fungi and their bacterial endosymbionts”
