Gene database of Neurospora crassa OR74A

Neurospora crassa is a fungus belonging to the phylum
Ascomycota. Commonly known as the red bread mold, its haploid genome
architecture affords its ready use in the deciphering of recessive traits
arising from genetic mutations. Genome sequencing efforts have elucidated the genetic
complement of all 7 chromosomes of this species, and its repertoire of about
10000 genes is a rich resource for understanding varied mechanisms that
pertains to epigenetics, cell polarity, cell fusion and gene silencing. This
resource hopes to provide the genetic repertoire of N. crassa OR74A
whose annotated genome sequence was downloaded from Genbank. Parsed using an
in-house MATLAB software, the resulting gene database contains gene name, gene
function and gene sequence of all genes in the genome of N. crassa
OR74A. which could inform varied aspects of biotechnology and fundamental
biology research.
