The advances in genomic technologies, such as microarrays and high throughput sequencing,
have expanded the realm of possibilities for capturing data and analyzing it using automated
computer driven bioinformatics tools. With the completion of the sequencing of genomes of
human and several model organisms, a quest for scientific discoveries being fueled by
integrative and multidimensional techniques in mathematics and computational sciences. In
this volume, leading researchers and experts have provided an overview of significant
concepts from biological, mathematical, and computational perspectives. It provides a high level view of fungal genomic data integration and annotation, classification of proteins and identification of vaccine targets, identification of secretome or secreted proteins in fungal genomes, as well as tools for analyzing microarray expression
profiles.
* Provides a survey of theoretical underpinnings on the technological tools and applications
* Discusses the tools utilized for the annotation of fungal genomes and addresses issues related to automated annotation generation in a high throughput biotechnology environment
* describing the applications of the concepts and methodologies presented throughout the book

This latest volume addresses the contemporary issues related to recombination in filamentous fungi, EST data mining, fungal intervening sequences, gene silencing, DNA damage response in filamentous fungi, "cfp" genes of "Neurospora," developmental gene sequences, site-specific recombination, heterologous gene expression, hybridization and microarray technology to enumerate biomass. This volume also analyse the current knowledge in the area of hydrophobins and genetic regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis. Over fifty world renowned scientist from both industry and academics provided in-depth information in the field of fungal genes and genomics.
