Tens of millions of ash trees across Europe are dying from the Hymenoscyphus fraxinea fungus — the most visible signs that a tree is infected with ash dieback fungus are cankers on the bark and dying leaves.

The reference genome from QMUL was used by scientists at University of York who discovered genes that are associated with greater resistance to ash dieback.
