Signal transduction pathway genes are required for female development.

PP – Previously published data demonstrated that the gene was needed for female development.NA – a deletion strain is not available in the single gene deletion library.NA(het) – the deletion strain in the single gene deletion library is a heterokaryon and a homokaryon isolate was not available during the screening experiments.RIP – a RIP experiment was used to verify that the gene is required for female development.An * by the NCU number indicates that the gene is needed for CAT (conidia anastomosis tube) formation (a cell fusion phenotype) and is likely to be a component of either the MAK-1 or MAK-2 signal pathway.A notation of “This report” in the reference information column indicates that the gene was either newly identified or verified by co-segregation and complementation analysis as being needed for N. crassa development by our experiments.Signal transduction pathway genes are required for female development.
