Methylation of DNA and of histone 3 at Lys 9 (H3K9) are highly correlated with gene
silencing in eukaryotes from fungi to humans. Both of these epigenetic marks need to be …

The fungal kingdom comprises some of the most devastating plant pathogens. Sequencing
the genomes of fungal pathogens has shown a remarkable variability in genome size and …

Neurospora crassa is a central organism in the history of twentieth-century genetics,
biochemistry and molecular biology. Here, we report a high-quality draft sequence of the N …

The plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici)
causes septoria tritici blotch, a disease that greatly reduces the yield and quality of wheat …

Although there have been many molecular studies of morphological mutants generated in
the laboratory, it is unclear how these are related to mutants in natural populations, where …

DNA-binding transcriptional regulators interpret the genome's regulatory code by binding to
specific sequences to induce or repress gene expression. Comparative genomics has …

Mammalian genomes employ heritable cytosine methylation in the long-term silencing of
retrotransposons and genes subject to genomic imprinting and X chromosome inactivation …

Plants regenerated from relatively undifferentiated callus cultures possess a vast array of
genetic changes. Such variations can result in useful agricultural and horticultural products …

The genus Colletotrichum comprises species with different lifestyles but is mainly known for
phytopathogenic species that infect crops of agronomic relevance causing considerable …

We present an analysis of over 1,100 of the∼ 10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the
genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Seven major areas of …
