11:35-12:00 Open Discussion:

Forum for Fusarium community topics such as coordination/standardization of data collection and deposition with respect to:

Functional genomics (standardization of mutant phenotype characterization);

Annotation;

Microarray gene expression;

Functional proteomics;

Protein interaction pathways.
