Neurospora review

Excerpt from a book review of Neurospora: Genomics and Molecular Biology:

"The volume’s authors are a nice mix of the Neurospora old guard and both relatively new or recently independent members of the Neurospora community. This book will be useful for novice and experienced researchers alike, a go-to manual for graduate students and post-docs new to the field and the organism and any scientist interested in the fungi. It will serve as an entrée into less laboratory-amenable but more biologically and medically important fungi ... This terrific new book was a pleasure to read; it belongs in every lab that works on fungi and every academic library. " from Jennifer Loros (The Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth Hanover, USA) writing in Curr. Issues Mol. Biol. (2014) 16: 7-8. read more ...
