We present the genome sequences of a new clinical isolate important human pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus, A1163, and two closely related but rarely pathogenic species, Neosartorya fischeri NRRL181 clavatus NRRL1. Comparative genomic analysis A1163 with recently sequenced A. fumigatus Af293 has identified core, variable up to 2% unique genes in each genome. While core are 99.8% identical at nucleotide level, identity for can be as low 40%. The most divergent loci appear contain heterokaryon...
