Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa

James E. Galagan, +77 more
- 24 Apr 2003 - 
TL;DR: A high-quality draft sequence of the N. crassa genome is reported, suggesting that RIP has had a profound impact on genome evolution, greatly slowing the creation of new genes through genomic duplication and resulting in a genome with an unusually low proportion of closely related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics reveals mobile pathogenicity chromosomes in Fusarium

Li-Jun Ma, +65 more
- 18 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

A high-throughput gene knockout procedure for Neurospora reveals functions for multiple transcription factors.

TL;DR: This study describes a method for rapidly creating knockout mutants in which it makes use of yeast recombinational cloning, Neurospora mutant strains deficient in nonhomologous end-joining DNA repair, custom-written software tools, and robotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lessons from the Genome Sequence of Neurospora crassa: Tracing the Path from Genomic Blueprint to Multicellular Organism

TL;DR: An analysis of over 1,100 of the ∼10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa reveals potential new targets for antifungals as well as loci implicated in human and plant physiology and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterotrimeric G protein signaling in filamentous fungi.

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of G protein pathways in several filamentous species is provided, with discussion of both unifying themes and important unique signaling paradigms.
