Oomycete Molecular Genetics Network

OMGN Community

The Oomycete Molecular Genetics Network (OMGN) brings together researchers working on the molecular, cellular and genetic foundations of oomycete biology.

Oomycetes are filamentous eukaryotes that include some of the most devastating plant pathogens affecting global food security and ecosystem resilience. Despite their agronomic importance, their molecular mechanisms remain comparatively understudied relative to fungi.

OMGN was created to foster exchange, collaboration and methodological innovation within the oomycete research community.

Our objectives

  • Promote advances in molecular genetics and functional genomics
  • Encourage the development and sharing of tools and resources
  • Support early-career researchers
  • Facilitate international collaboration

Connecting researchers. Advancing oomycete biology. Strengthening our community.
