Ectomycorrhizal ecology is imprinted in the genome of the dominant symbiotic fungus Cenococcum geophilum

The ascomycete Cenococcum geophilum is a beneficial mycorrhizal symbiont found frequently on tree roots. Here the authors use comparative genomics and transcriptomics to define genomic signatures that differentiate the beneficial C. geophilumfrom its saprotrophic and pathogenic relatives.
