Open AccessThe lichen symbiosis re-viewed through the genomes of Cladonia grayi and its algal partner Asterochloris glomerata
Lichens, encompassing 20,000 known species, are symbioses between specialized fungi (mycobionts), mostly ascomycetes, and unicellular green algae or cyanobacteria (photobionts). Here we describe the first para...
