The sequencing the genomes of 10 novel Aspergillus species, which were compared with the eight other sequenced Aspergillus species, has now been announced by researchers. With this first ever genus-wide view, the international consortium found that Aspergillus has a greater genomic and functional diversity than previously understood, broadening the range of potential applications for the fungi considered one of the most important workhorses in the biotechnology.
