FMGP is a project of
B. Franz Lang
's
research group
. It is supported by Joyce Longcore, M. Mollicone and Donald Barr, who
who
have been very helpful in defining representatives of the most
important
fungal lineages, and have supplied many strains used in this study. J.
Longcore
has further contributed organismal and ultrastructural information for
these
webpages.
The goals of FMGP are to (i) sequence complete mitochondrial genomes
from all major fungal lineages, (ii) infer a robust fungal phylogeny,
(iii) define
the origin of the fungi, their protistan ancestors, and their specific
phylogenetic
link to the animals, (iv) investigate mitochondrial gene expression,
introns,
RNAse P RNA structures, mobile elements ...
This project has been supported by the Medical Research Council of
