What are they producing? Do these closely related species have orthologous pathway genes?

Phylogeny done by Resham Kulkani at TIGR Using KS domain of PKS/Fatty Acid Synthase wA/alb1 orthologues PKS for aflatoxin in 2 species only Possible orthologues amongst unknown PKS? Hybrid PKS/NRPS KS-AT-CON-AMP-PP In all 3 species, but not really orthologues? Conclusions Few true orthologues across the genus Aspergillus Each species has its own repertoire Orthologues often found in less closely related species Gene/product relationship requires functional analysis in most cases Secondary metabolism – University of Sheffield Chemistry – University of Tubingen Hala Mohamed Shubha Maiya Jackie Price David Keszenman-Pereyra Alexander Grundmann Shuming Li Bioinformatics TIGR Broad Institute AIST-CBRC University of Tokyo
