Sommario/riassunto

Building on over 70 years of genetics research, Neurospora continues to be the leading model for the study of the genomics and molecular biology of filamentous fungi. The ease of culture, amenability to genetic and molecular genetic analysis, and the close correlation between genetic and biochemical traits are some of its advantages. Research with Neurospora has provided insights unachievable from



work with simpler systems and difficult to extract from more complicated ones, cementing its position as a leading model system. In recent years, the application of modern high throughput analyses ha
