My Fusarium research integrates comparative genomics, phylogenomics, molecular diagnostics, and population genomics to better understand the evolution, diversity, and pathogenicity of economically important Fusarium species. A major focus is the development of genome-informed diagnostic assays for rapid detection and discrimination of pathogenic lineages.
This genome-scale phylogeny was reconstructed from 293 conserved single-copy genes across 572 Fusarium oxysporum genomes. The tree provides a framework for investigating lineage diversification, species relationships, and the evolutionary history of economically important plant pathogens.
