TL;DR: CDNA libraries generated in Project 4 document the overall complexity of expressed sequences in Neurospora, including alternative splicing alternative promoters and antisense transcripts, and drive the assembly of an SNP map presently populated by nearly 300 markers that will greatly accelerate the positional cloning of genes.

TL;DR: The roles of many uORFs that are identified by genome-level approaches, as have been initiated for Saccharomyces, Aspergillus, and Cryptococcus species, remain to be determined.

TL;DR: This model provides a reliable computational framework for the integration and interpretation of ongoing experimental efforts in Neurospora, and it is anticipated that the methods will substantially reduce the manual effort required to develop high-quality genome-scale metabolic models for other organisms.

TL;DR: Despite the absence of many features typically found in the telomere regions of other organisms, the Neurospora chromosome termini still retain the dynamic nature that is characteristic of chromosome ends.

TL;DR: This is the first report that QTL mapping for an alcohol-related trait has successfully led to the identification of a polymorphic candidate gene product that is genetically associated with the trait.
