SRP006948 Homolaphlyctis polyrhiza Homolaphlyctis polyrhiza genome Genome sequence of Homolaphlyctis polyrhiza. Homolaphlyctis polyrhiza genome We sequenced the genome of Homolaphlyctis polyrhiza (from isolate JEL142, Joyce E. Longcore, U. Maine), the closest known relative of the chytrid frog-killer Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in order to identify unique portions of the Bd genome. This species is in the process of being described Longcore et al., publication due out soon. pubmed 22072962
