Abstract
Fungal pathogens pose an increasingly worrying threat to human health, food security and ecosystem diversity. To tackle fungal infections and improve current diagnostic and therapeutic tools it is necessary to understand virulence and antifungal drug resistance mechanisms in diverse species. Recent advances in genomics approaches have provided a suitable framework to understand these phenotypes, which ultimately depend on genetically encoded determinants. In this work, we review how the study of genome sequences has been key to ascertain the bases of virulence and drug resistance traits. We focus on the contribution of comparative genomics, population genomics and directed evolution studies. In addition, we discuss how different types of genomic mutations (small or structural variants) contribute to intraspecific differences in virulence or drug resistance. Finally, we review current challenges in the field and anticipate future directions to solve them. In summary, this work provides a short overview of how genomics can be used to understand virulence and drug resistance in fungal pathogens.
