dc.description.abstract	The first multicellular genome to be sequenced in Africa was produced by scientists at the University of Pretoria. They produced the full genome sequence of the tree-killing fungus, Fusarium circinatum, renewing hope that the global destruction that it wreaks in commercial pine plantations may be stemmed in years to come.	en
