Aspergillus parasiticus SU-1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Aspergillus parasiticus SU-1

The objectives of sequencing the Aspergillus parasiticus strain SU-1 is to study the relationship between fungal development aflatoxin production and virulence. Better understanding the mechanism of aflatoxin formation, fungal pathogeneicity, and developmental biology can help in devising strategy to control or reduce aflatoxin contamination in food and feed commodities.
