Abstract This chapter aims to give an overview of the basic knowledge, understanding and perspectives in fungal genomics. It is likely that fungal genome sequencing will soon become simpler and cheaper, and allow most research laboratories to undertake in-house, whole genome sequencing on a regular basis, as sequencers will be accessible to most laboratories. Nonetheless, most of the innovation in the next decade will be driven by theories in innovative perspectives and fields of investigation, rather than in novel technical approaches.

Whole-genome sequencing of infectious agents enables the identification and characterization of emerging viruses. The MinION device is a portable sequencer that allows real-time sequencing in fields or hospitals. Hantaan orthohantavirus (Hantaan virus, HTNV), harbored by Apodemus agrarius, causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and poses a critical public health threat worldwide. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using nanopore sequencing for whole-genome sequencing of HTNV from samples having different viral copy numbers. Amplicon-based next-generation sequencing was performed in A. agrarius lung tissues collected from the Republic of Korea. Genomic sequences of HTNV were analyzed based on the viral RNA copy numbers. Amplicon-based nanopore sequencing provided nearly full-length genomic sequences of HTNV and showed sufficient read depth for phylogenetic analysis after 8 h of sequencing. The average identity of the HTNV genome sequences for the nanopore sequencer compared to those of generated from Illumina MiSeq revealed 99.8% (L and M segments) and 99.7% (S segment) identities, respectively. This study highlights the potential of the portable nanopore sequencer for rapid generation of accurate genomic sequences of HTNV for quicker decision making in point-of-care testing of HFRS patients during a hantavirus outbreak.

Four enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) strains from four children with influenza-like illness were identified in Shenzhen, southern China, in late 2015. Here, we announce the availability of these viral genomes in GenBank. The genomic sequences of these EV-D68 strains showed the closest phylogenetic relationship to strains from northern China.

The advent of whole-genome sequencing has resulted in a range of platforms for large-scale analysis of the DNA (genomics), RNA (transcriptomics), protein (proteomics), and metabolite (metabolomics) content of cells. These inclusive ‘omics’ approaches have allowed for unparalleled insights into fungal biology. In this chapter we will discuss how genomics and transcriptomics have been used to broaden our understanding of the biology of human pathogenic fungi and their interactions with their hosts.
