Coccidioides group Database
Coccidioides immitis is a soil fungus which causes coccidioidomycosis, also known as "valley fever," a serious and sometimes fatal disease in otherwise healthy people. C. immitis has been placed on the NIAID group II list of priority emerging and re-emerging pathogens. Coccidioides species have also become models for studying the evolutionary biology of pathogenic fungi.
The Coccidioides immitis sequence project targets multiple Coccidioides strains and is supported by both NHGRI and NIAID through the Broad Institute's Fungal Genome Initiative and its Microbial Sequencing Center (MSC).
