Project description:Two mutant strains of Aspergillus fumigatus derived from strain A1160, HapB and 29.9, display resistance to the antifungal drug itraconazole. To understand what underlying transcriptional processes contribute to this resistance, A1160, HapB and 29.9 were cultured either in the presence or absence of itraconazole. RNA-sequencing was used to compare transcription profiles of each mutant strain with or without the drug, to A1160 with or without drug.
Project description:Genomic DNA from five strains, Aspergillus fumigatus Af71, Aspergillus fumigatus Af294, Aspergillus clavatus, Neosartorya fenneliae, and Neosartorya fischeri, were co-hybridized with that of Aspergillus fumigatus Af293 and compared.
