Podospora anserina is a filamentous fungus
used in several molecular genetics laboratories to study various aspects
of mycology and fundamental cell biology (ageing, differentiation and
cell death, multicellularity, epigenetics...). This fungus is very
helpful as a model system because of the simplicity of its culture, the
speed and efficiency of its genetics analysis and the possibility to do
molecular biology experiments. The complete sequences of the nuclear and
mitochondrial genomes of strain S mat+ have been determined in
collaboration with CNRS and Génoscope. Génoscope has
performed the sequencing and assembly (click

and download.
