Draft genome sequences of human pathogenic fungus Geomyces pannorum sensu lato and bat white nose syndrome pathogen Geomyces (Pseudogymnoascus) destructans

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of Geomyces pannorum sensu lato and Geomyces (Pseudogymnoascus) destructans. G. pannorum has a larger proteome than G. destructans, containing more proteins with ascribed enzymatic functions. This dichotomy in the genomes of related psychrophilic fungi is a valuable target for defining their distinct saprobic and pathogenic attributes.
