Fungal RNA Biology

摘要: This book presents an overview of the RNA networks controlling gene expression in fungi highlighting remaining questions and future challenges this area. It covers several aspects RNA-mediated mechanisms that regulate model yeasts filamentous fungi, organisms great importance for industry, medicine agriculture. It is estimated there are more than one million fungal species on Earth. Despite their diversity (saprophytic, parasitic mutualistic), share common features distinctive from plants animals have been grouped taxonomically as independent eukaryotic kingdom. In book, 15 chapters written by experts fields cover RNA-dependent processes take place a cell ranging formation coding non-coding RNAs to mRNA translation, ribosomal biogenesis, silencing, editing epigenetic regulation.
