The identification of the fungal genes essential for disease underpins the development of disease control strategies. Improved technologies for gene identification and functional analyses, as well as a plethora of sequenced fungal genomes, have led to the characterization of hundreds of genes, denoted as pathogenicity genes, which are required by fungi to cause disease. We describe recent technologies applied to characterize the fungal genes involved in disease and focus on some genes that are likely to attract continuing research activity.
鉴定对疾病至关重要的真菌基因是制定疾病控制策略的基础。基因鉴定和功能分析技术的改进，以及大量测序的真菌基因组，已经导致了数百个基因的特征描述，这些基因被称为致病性基因，是真菌引起疾病所必需的。我们描述了最近应用于鉴定与疾病有关的真菌基因的技术，并重点介绍了一些可能吸引持续研究活动的基因。
