http://www.ebi.ac.uk/genomes

The EBI genomes pages give access to a large number of complete genomes including bacteria, archaea, viruses, phages, plasmids, viroids and eukaryotes. Methods using whole genome shotgun data are used to gain a large amount of genome coverage for an organism. WGS data for a growing number of organisms are being submitted to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank. Genome entries have been listed in their appropriate category which may be browsed using the website navigation tool bar on the left. While organelles are all listed in a separate category, any from Eukaryota with chromosome entries are also listed in the Eukaryota page. Within each page, entries are grouped and sorted at the species level with links to the taxonomy page for that species separating each group. Within each species, entries whose source organism has been categorized further are grouped and numbered accordingly. Links are made to: * taxonomy * complete EMBL flatfile * CON files * lists of CON segments * Project * Proteomes pages * FASTA file of Proteins * list of Proteins

http://www.broad.mit.edu/annotation/fungi/fgi/

Produces and analyzes sequence data from fungal organisms that are important to medicine, agriculture and industry. The FGI is a partnership between the Broad Institute and the wider fungal research community, with the selection of target genomes governed by a steering committee of fungal scientists. Organisms are selected for sequencing as part of a cohesive strategy that considers the value of data from each organism, given their role in basic research, health, agriculture and industry, as well as their value in comparative genomics.
