Dermatophyte Comparative Database

Dermatophytes are one of the most common sources of human fungal infections. This comparative genomics project seeks to utilize the continuum of biological diversity to identify genomic features specific to chronic and acute human infections. Sequencing for this project includes five Dermatophytes with top priority to the most common fungal infection in the world, Trichophyton rubrum. The five prioritized species represent human specific (anthropophile), mammal specific (zoophile) and soil dwelling (geophile) taxa. This project was funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute.
