International Symposium on
Mycological Genomics and Diversity
I. Overview
International Symposium on Mycological Genomics and Diversity will be
held at Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan on 5 December 2014, which
are organized by The Mycological Society of Republic of China. This 1-day
meeting consists of seven keynote lectures, given by renowned local and
overseas mycologists from Taiwan, Japan, USA and Russia. Topics of the
lectures are related to the genomics and diversity of diverse ecological
groups of fungi including pathogenic fungi, endophytic fungi, yeasts and
fungi with sustainable applications. The participants of this meeting will be
given an update on the current topics in the study of genomics and diversity
of fungi. Also, this meeting will allow thorough discussion on topics in
genomics and diversity of fungi between local and international participants,
which hopefully will result in future international collaboration.
