The paper identifies rfk-2 as a gene required for spore killing by Sk-3 in Neurospora fungi, showing it is necessary but not sufficient for the process.

The paper demonstrates a recombination-independent mechanism for DNA homology recognition in meiosis using Neurospora crassa, showing that homologous DNA pairs through specific sequence patterns and structural interactions.

The paper shows that RNA editing controls gene drive in Neurospora by enabling the production of a toxic protein that kills spores.

This study investigates the expression of a human-optimized Cas9 transgene in Neurospora crassa and finds that translational issues hinder its expression.

This study shows that disrupting the NHEJ pathway in N. sitophila increases targeted transgene integration efficiency, similar to findings in N. crassa.

The paper identifies rfk-1 as a gene required for spore killing in Neurospora, showing its deletion abolishes Sk-2 spore killing and its insertion disrupts meiosis in non-Sk-2 isolates.
