The Myco-Ed program is divided into modules that cover fungal isolation and identification, metadata collection, sample preparation, phenotypic assays, and curating fungal genome annotations.
Table 1.
Myco-Ed fungal reference genomes compiled to date, including organism name, strain ID, institution, project status, and novelty (the first genome at that taxonomic level). Novelty was determined by screening student isolates against NCBI and MycoCosm for available genomes. If the best hit for a student isolate was to a genus with a reference genome, but percent identity was below 95%, it was marked as Genus+ (potentially representing a new genus or higher taxonomic level). Projects with status ‘Complete’ are publicly available via MycoCosm (https://mycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/MycoEd), while those ‘In preparation’ have been selected for sequencing but have not yet been completed.
