| Description | Neurospora crassa is a multicellular filamentous fungus, which has been an important model species since the 1920s. Work on Neurospora in the 1940s led to the one-gene-one-enzyme hypothesis. It is particularly useful in the study of epigenetic and genome defense mechanisms, such as the repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) process for suppressing gene duplication, which is unique to fungi. The Neurospora crassa genome is approximately 40Mb contained in 7 chromosomes. Number of protein coding genes are more than double of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. |
