Plant-derived infectious diseases (EIDs) caused by fungi have long been known to pose a serious threat to global food security. In recent years, pathogenic fungi have been found to be posing a major threat to animal health, and the global spread of fungal diseases has directly affected biodiversity and caused localized extinctions of coral, amphibian, and bat populations. For example, in 2007, white-nose syndrome (WNS) caused mass mortality of bats hibernating in New York. Animal fungal diseases caused by pathogenic fungi can be divided into 3 categories: 1) Surface fungal diseases. Lesions occur in the skin and mucous membranes, mostly superficial and limited. It accounts for a large proportion of fungal diseases. 2) In vivo fungal disease. The lesions mainly occur in the deep structures and organs of the animal body, but also infringe the skin. 3) Other fungal diseases. Including fungal abortion, caused by fungal infection of the placenta, common in cattle, horses and sheep.
With global warming and the resulting climate change, the incidence of many fungal diseases is increasing and a global pandemic is possible. Therefore, studies on the structure and function, genetic evolution, and pathogenicity of fungal genomes are essential to prevent the spread of fungal diseases. Fungal genome sequencing is an important tool for studying fungal genomes. After obtaining the whole genome sequence of fungi by high-throughput second- or third-generation sequencing technology, gene prediction and functional annotation of the sequence using bioinformatics analysis techniques can provide a molecular biological basis for studying the unique biological characteristics of fungi (pathogenesis, host-host interaction mechanism, metabolic mechanism, etc.). In addition, combined with comparative genomic analysis, it can provide theoretical guidance for the study of trait variation, functional differences and genetic evolutionary relationships among fungi. As the demand for fungal genome sequencing increases, researchers have developed various sequencing kits related to fungal genome sequencing.
