Based on CSP Proposal 336 (2010) from collaborators: B. Gillian Turgeon, Cornell University & Nada Kraševec, National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia, was the project supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. The work was conducted by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) Community Sequencing Program (CSP 2011). CSP is created to provide the scientific community at large with access to high-throughput sequencing at JGI for projects of relevance to DOE missions. Sequencing projects are chosen based on scientific merit and relevance to issues in global carbon cycling, alternative energy production, and biogeochemistry. Projekt aim is to add additional fungal cereal pathogens: Cochliobolus lunatus, C. victoriae, C. carbonum, and C. miyabeanus, to the Dothideomycete genome collection.
D.01 Chairing over/coordinating (international and national) projects
COBISS.SI-ID: 4962586The collection of genomes from Dothideomycete fungi was extended by additional cereal, pathogens such as C. lunatus, C. victoriae, C. carbonum and C. miyabeanus. Size of new genomes is in the typical range of 30-40 Mb, approaches similar to those of de novo and re-sequencing strain O and T of fungus C. heterostrophus. #Genome web page: Cochliobolus lunatus m118 v1.0; http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Coclu1/Coclu1.home.html) (Version 1, February 2012) Cochliobolus lunatus m118 v2.0; http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Coclu2/Coclu2.home.html ) (Version 2, Mai 2012). # Newspaper publishing: Slovenian researchers contributed to genome sequencing of pathogenic fungus (in: Znanost, Delo, 9.3.2012) Lectures at workshops of scientific meetings: # Kraševec Nada.

D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 246737408In the year, a meeting was organized in Maribor from 12th-15th October in a form of Joint congress: 9th Congress of the Slovenian Biochemical Society and 5th Congress of the Slovenian Microbiological Society - with International Participation and 3rd CEFORM Central European Forum for Microbiology). The meeting included also a round table entitled: "Innovations and technology transfer in science and workshop entitled: "Microbiology education and consequences for food safety practice". The meeting was attended by over 270 participants.
