Migrating fungal biologists

• We said bye to Marco Marconi, visiting student from the Wilkinson Lab in Madrid, in December. He worked on some data mining from the 1KFG project and brought some new R tools for looking for enrichment across the CAZY, Interpro, and Pfam differences in species. - We welcome Plant Pathology graduate student Derreck Carter-House to the lab in January - after spending time working on molecular biology projects in plants and plant-microbe interactions in another lab. 
• Jason went across to England to serve on Ensembl Genomes  SAB and give seminar at University of Exeter - he came back with more appreciation for sunny California winters.
