Abstract
In recent years, genomics has revolutionized various scientific fields, including food mycology. Next-generation sequencing and genome analysis methods are progressively advancing, and an increasing number of aspects are known on the characterization of fungi of food-related interest, which are widely used in research. However, issues remain to be resolved before this technique can be routinely used in the food industry. Therefore, the aim of this review was to present the potential uses and limitations of genomics in food mycology studies and its applications in this field with particular emphasis on their role to ensure food safety.
