Abstract

Aspergillus fischeri is a common food spoilage fungus and a close relative of the opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus Here, we sequenced the genomes of two isolates of A. fischeri to build resources for comparative genomics and to aid in differentiation between A. fischeri subspecies.
