Community survey for phytopathogen resources
FungiDB and Ensembl are teaming up to enhance resources for fungal and oomycete plant pathogen research - a collaboration funded by the BBSRC.
We need feedback from the phytopathogen community to help shape which genomes and functional datasets we prioritise.
Please provide your input by completing our short community survey by November 1, 2025:

Trypanosoma brucei vs Phytophthora lateralis LastZ results

Trypanosoma brucei (Trypanosoma brucei, TryBru_Apr2005_chr11) and Phytophthora lateralis (Phytophthora lateralis MPF4, MPF4_v1.0) were aligned using the LastZ alignment algorithm (LastZ) in Ensembl Protists release 111. Trypanosoma brucei was used as the reference species. After running LastZ, the raw LastZ alignment blocks were chained according to their location in both genomes. During the final netting process, the best sub-chain was chosen in each region on the reference species.
