Draft Genome Sequence of Neurospora crassa Strain FGSC 73
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the elucidation of the complete genome of the Neurospora crassa (Shear and Dodge) strain FGSC 73, a mat-a, trp-3 mutant strain. The genome sequence around the idiotypic mating type locus represents the only publicly available sequence for a mat-a strain. 40.42 Megabases are assembled into 358 scaffolds carrying 11,978 gene models.

Biotransformation of Hydrocortisone by Neurospora crassa
The ability of Neurospora crassa FGSC 4335 in the biotransformation of hydrocortisone was investigated. The microorganism produced two major metabolites after incubation with the substrate for seven days. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and identified on the basis of spectral data. The products were identified as 11?,17?,20?,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (II) and 11?-h...
متن کاملEndogenous Small RNA Mediates Meiotic Silencing of a Novel DNA Transposon
Genome defense likely evolved to curtail the spread of transposable elements and invading viruses. A combination of effective defense mechanisms has been shown to limit colonization of the Neurospora crassa genome by transposable elements. A novel DNA transposon named Sly1-1 was discovered in the genome of the most widely used laboratory "wild-type" strain FGSC 2489 (OR74A). Meiotic silencing b...
متن کاملCysteine Mutant Strains of Neurospora'
UTANT strains of Neurospora crassa that are unable to utilize inorganic sulfur, but which are capable of growth on minimal medium supplemented with either cysteine or methionine, are obtained readily. It is surprising, therefore, that little genetic information has been available for cysteine mutants of Neurospora, other than those located in linkage group VI (STADLER 1956a,b, 1959a,b; STADLER ...
متن کاملVariation in mitochondrial genome primary sequence among whole-genome-sequenced strains of Neurospora crassa
Eighteen classical mutant strains of Neurospora crassa were subject to whole genome sequence analysis and the mitochondrial genome is analyzed. Overall, the mitochondrial genomes of the classical mutant strains are 99.45 to 99.98 % identical to the reference genome. Two-thirds of the SNPs and three-fourths of indels identified in this analysis are shared among more than one strain. Most of the ...
متن کاملA high-density single nucleotide polymorphism map for Neurospora crassa.
We report the discovery and validation of a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between the reference Neurospora crassa strain Oak Ridge and the Mauriceville strain (FGSC 2555), of sufficient density to allow fine mapping of most loci. Sequencing of Mauriceville cDNAs and alignment to the completed genomic sequence of the Oak Ridge strain identified 19,087 putative SNPs. Of these, a s...
