Abstract excerpt
We report a large-scale comparison of sequence data from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa with the complete genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. N. crassa is considerably more morphologically and developmentally complex than S. cerevisiae. We found that N. crassa has a much higher proportion of "orphan" genes than S. cerevisiae, suggesting that its morphological complexity reflects the acquisition...
