Books in the Applied Mycology and Biotechnology series

Analyzes the commonly used molecular markers systems, and elaborates the development of biochemical genetics, which provides a model system that established the relationship between genes and enzymes. This book is useful for those crossing disciplinary boundaries into the field of biotechnology, genomics and bioinformatics of fungi.

Addresses the contemporary issues related to recombination in filamentous fungi, EST data mining, fungal intervening sequences, gene silencing, DNA damage response in filamentous fungi, cfp genes of Neurospora, and more. This volume analyses the knowledge in the area of hydrophobins and genetic regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis.

Provides an overview of significant concepts in Bioinformatics from biological, mathematical, and computational perspectives. This work discusses the tools utilized for the annotation of fungal genomes and addresses issues related to automated annotation generation in a high throughput biotechnology environment.

Highlights wide-ranging applications of genomics in the area of applied mycology and biotechnology. This title covers: a brief overview on fungal genomics; meiotic recombination in fungi; molecular genetics of circadian rhythms; genome sequencing; transposable elements; mitochondrial genomes; ribosome biogenesis; and, pathogenicity genes.
