This page contains a selection of the most influential papers in the field of fungal genetics, with special emphasis to those that have contributed to the understanding basic processes of the cells in general or report key aspects of fungal pathogenicity to plants and human beings (animals). This will be a live section, to which new additions will be appended as convenient. to facilitate access to a particular paper, an index and search box are included. As every entry includes a short descriptive sentence, readers may search either for authors or for words included in these sentences. The selection is curated by Miguel Peñalva, and therefore represents his personal opinion and not that of the ECFGs. Suggestions and amendments are warmly wellcomed at fungalgenetics@outlook.es
The page is currently under construction as it is being constantly renovated with new additions and amendments. This ongoing process ensures that the content is always dynamic and useful to the readers. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to enhance this page.
