Neutospora is the leading model for the study of the genomics and molecular biology of filamentous fungi, and the application of modern high-throughput analysis has led to a deluge of information. Geneticists and other biologists summarize and synthesize the current understanding in the fungus' genome and molecular biology. Among the topics are the fungal sense of non-self, genetic recombination in Neurospora crassa, the regulation of gene transcription by light, calcium signaling, and the Neurospora circadian system: from genes to proteins and back in less than 24 hours.
