Description: "This volume highlights many of the premier systems - plant and animal pathogens as well as a well established filamentous fungal model system - that are at various stages in the development of genomic technologies. The case studies provide a primer for where the fields of fungal biology and pathogenesis have been and will go in the future."--BOOK JACKET
