One difference worthy of note is the N. crassa single mutants. The printed catalogue lists them in alphabetic order according to gene symbol. To put all strains in one file would cause long waits while your machine accessed the file, so the single mutants are divided into groups which can be individually searched fairly quickly. Mutants not belonging to large groups such as adenine or histidine are lumped into a section called 'other mutants' which is then split alphabetically into two parts. The ability to pay is not a prerequisite to receive strains or publications from the FGSC, but it is expected that researchers who have grant funding will pay for the materials they request.
Gene libraries have their own pricing scheme .
Also upgraded is the section containing reprints from Fungal Genetics Newsletter . An index of newsletters 1-32 is also available on line and can simplify literature searches. Links to other potentially useful places are provided as a resource to our visitors and are not meant to endorse their sites or their content. This and all FGSC efforts supported by grant BIR-9222772 from the Biological Research Program, National Science Foundation . Although information at the FGSC web site may mention specific vendors or their products, this is for identification purposes only and does not imply that the FGSC or the NSF endorses any particular product or vendor.
