High-quality co-expression networks for accurate gene function predictions in the fungal cell factory Aspergillus niger and beyond

The paper constructs a high-quality co-expression network for Aspergillus niger using RNA-seq data, showing improved gene function prediction compared to a previous microarray-based network.

A Penicillium rubens platform strain for secondary metabolite production

The paper describes a Penicillium rubens strain with reduced secondary metabolite production, used to efficiently express a polyketide gene cluster for high-yield metabolite production.

Updating genome annotation for the microbial cell factory Aspergillus niger using gene co-expression networks

This study uses gene co-expression networks to infer functions for uncharacterized genes in Aspergillus niger, identifying four transcription factors involved in secondary metabolite synthesis.
