The comparative genomic study of fungal pathogens allows the detection of genes and variations linked to virulence and antibiotic resistance. The methods, tools, and developments used to study clinically significant fungal pathogens utilizing whole genome sequencing are discussed in this article. It provides the resolution needed to compare closely related strains like in outbreak analysis or to compare multidrug resistant isolate from the same host over time. In addition to basic research, genomic analysis of fungal pathogens can have a positive impact on diagnostics. New metagenomic techniques will enable direct analysis of complex data as sequencing scales rise.
