🚨job alert!🚨
An exciting opportunity to study #fungi and their secondary metabolites in the Rush lab at Oak Ridge. Please pass it along:

Our latest review summarizing every characterized BGC and their elucidated products in Aspergillus fumigatus has now been published! Open access. We hope this is a helpful resource to the fumigatus community 😁

ALT Timeline of BGC characterization in Aspergillus fumigatus. Yellow dots indicate secondary metabolites linked to BGCs and the years when their linkages were identified.
In addition to summarizing the field, we included some novel analyses that give insight into the untapped biosynthetic potential within the fumigatus species complex (hint, it's a lot). There's still much work we must do as a community!
ALT Never before documented BGCs identified in this study. The heatmap shows the presence (red) or absence (cream) of all novel/unknown gene cluster families found in the A. fumigatus isolates.
ALT The BGCs of previously characterized secondary metabolism-producing genes in different isolates of A. fumigatus. The heatmap shows the presence (blue) or absence (cream) of various secondary metabolite GCFs across 264 A. fumigatus isolates. BGCs without compound names represent those that were previously documented genetically but never characterized metabolically.

We are excited to share our latest paper led by @dianiluciano on the role of the histone demethylase KdmB in Penicillium expansum. Here, we show that KdmB mediates virulence and secondary metabolite production in the apple host.

This is a back-to-back publication with @BayramLAB which shows similar findings on the conservation of the KERS chromatin regulatory complex in Aspergillus flavus

Curious if your fungus of interest contains any ICS BGCs? You can find out for yourself! We've created a website to host all ICS BGC predictions made in the study. Check it out at: isocyanides.fungi.wisc.edu/. 🌐🔍

#Invasive plants and animals get all the limelight. But a deadly #mushroom is spreading east after being introduced to the US west coast. Our work opens the opportunity to explore why.
