Westerdijk Fungal Genomics

Westerdijk Fungal Genomics

From fungal genome sequencing to tailor-made genome analyses.

Our expertise in fungal genome sequencing and genome analyses provides support for:

  • Fungal genomic DNA extraction and Oxford Nanopore Technology de novo sequencing and genome assembly (including quality control).
  • Gene prediction and functional annotation of fungal genomes.
  • Tailored-made (comparative) genomic analyses (e.g. evaluation of the mycotoxigenic potential of fungal strains, phylogenomics, identification of genes of interest).
    For the analyses of fungal genomes, tell us your specific need as we can employ diverse tools to address different questions.
