β¦ Synopsis
A simple colony blot procedure was used to screen 336 Neurospora strains for the presence of the transposable element Tad. These strains included the standard laboratory wild types, all of the available Neurospora isolates collected from the Ivory Coast, and all wild-collected Neurospora crassa isolates available from the Fungal Genetics Stock Center. Tad was found only in the strain of origin from AdiopodumΓ©, Ivory Coast, where it is present in multiple copies. Three other strains of African origin were found to have single copy sequences that are related to Tad.

The taxonomy of the fungal genus Chrysosporium is mainly based on morphological features. In our current studies we have found several Chrysosporium species which showed intermediate morphological characteristics between several species. For this reason, we have carried out an analysis of the mitoch
Overlapping subsequences in a DNA sequence are not independent even if independence is supposed for the single nucleotides. Therefore the often used geometric distribution for the length of restriction fragments is not exact. The exact distribution of this random variable is derived for non-overlapp
