This group is for sharing protocols for genetic manipulation of Chytrid fungi. Work is focusing on Batrachochytrium, Spizellomyces, Allomyces, Rhizoclosmatium. The include tools such as including improved growth medium, robust freezing protocols, cell labeling and staining, CRISPR, and molecular transformation. Work to develop improved model systems for studies of chytrid symbiosis will also be inlcuded in here. Genomic analysis of chytrids including nucleic acid extratcions, growth synchronization, and phylogenetic or phylogenomic methods are also appropriate here. Methods for growth, culture maintenance, environmental culturing, microscopy and sample preparation are also welcomed. - transformation, genomics, culture, microscopy
