Prof. Chang Soo LEE and Prof. Young Jin PARK of the Department of Applied Biochemistry of the Glocal (Chungju) campus of Konkuk University and the members on his research team determined a complete genome sequence of Flammulina velutipes, aka winter mushroom.
The latest achievement is meaningful because the whole genome sequence of eukaryote was determined for the first time singlehandedly by local researchers and their technique, setting the stage for adding value to research on mushrooms.
