Covering: 1965–2014 Fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) are prolific producers of
structurally diverse terpenoid compounds. Classes of terpenoids identified in fungi include …

Double-stranded RNA has been shown to induce gene silencing in diverse eukaryotes and
by a variety of pathways. We have examined the taxonomic distribution and the phylogenetic …

We sequenced∼ 400,000 small RNAs from Caenorhabditis elegans. Another 18 microRNA
(miRNA) genes were identified, thereby extending to 112 our tally of confidently identified …

Distinct classes of small RNAs, 20–32 nucleotides long, play important regulatory roles for
diverse cellular processes. It is therefore important to identify and quantify small RNAs as a …

The improvement of woody fruit species by traditional plant breeding techniques has several
limitations mainly caused by their high degree of heterozygosity, the length of their juvenile …

Abstract Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke) Takah is an ascomycetous fungus that causes rice
false smut, a devastating emerging disease worldwide. Here we report a 39.4 Mb draft …

Filamentous fungi are widely used in biotechnology as cell factories for the production of
chemicals, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. In order to improve their productivities, genetic …

Several distinct classes of small RNAs, some newly identified, have been discovered to play
important regulatory roles in diverse cellular processes. These classes include siRNAs …

Aflatoxins are toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and immunosuppressive
byproducts of Aspergillus spp. that contaminate a wide range of crops such as maize …

Noncoding RNA has long been proposed to control gene expression via sequence-specific
interactions with regulatory regions. Here, we review the role of noncoding RNA in …
