Aspergillus Genomics - Aspergillus fumigatus

1. Information on isolate AF293, the original strain to be sequenced.
   
   A clinical isolate from an individual who died of invasive aspergillosis. The strain is lodged with the Fungal Genetics Stock Center as acquisition number A1100.
   
   
2. A second strain of Aspergillus fumigatus has been sequenced. This is strain CEA10.
   
   Strain CEA10 is also a clinical isolate, obtained at a Paris hospital in 1989, and is the strain used in the laboratory of Dr Jean Paul Latgé at the Pasteur Institute, Paris. It is lodged with the FGSC as acquisition number A1163.
