Gene expression differences among three Neurospora species reveal genes required for sexual reproduction in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time.

Light-dependent and circadian transcription dynamics in vivo recorded with a destabilized luciferase reporter in Neurospora. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We show that firefly luciferase is a stable protein when expressed at 25 °C in Neurospora, which limits its use as transcription reporter. We created a short-lived luciferase by fusing a PEST signal to its C-terminus (LUC-PEST) and applied the LUC-PEST ...

Rhythmidia: A modern tool for circadian period analysis of filamentous fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyCircadian rhythms are ubiquitous across the kingdoms of life and serve important roles in regulating physiology and behavior at many levels. These rhythms occur in ~24-hour cycles and are driven by a core molecular oscillator.

FRQ-CK1 interaction determines the period of circadian rhythms in Neurospora
Nature Communications, 2019 Circadian clocks control daily rhythms of molecular and physiological activities. Here, the authors show that the interaction between proteins FRQ and CK1, rather than FRQ stability, is a major rate-limiting step in circadian period determination in the ...

Large-scale introgression shapes the evolution of the mating-type chromosomes of the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 The significance of introgression as an evolutionary force shaping natural populations is well established, especially in animal and plant systems. However, the abundance and size of introgression tracts, and to what degree interspecific gene flow is the

Reconstruction and validation of a genome-scale metabolic model for the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa using FARM. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2013 The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa played a central role in the development of twentieth-century genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology, and continues to serve as a model organism for eukaryotic biology.

A constitutive heterochromatic region shapes genome organization and impacts gene expression in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Organization of the eukaryotic genome is essential for proper function, including gene expression. In metazoans, chromatin loops and Topologically Associated Domains (TADs) organize genes into transcription factories, while chromosomes occupy ...
