Abstract excerpt
Gene disruption and overexpression play central roles in the analysis of gene function. Homologous recombination is, in principle, the most efficient method of disrupting, modifying, or replacing a target gene. Although homologous integration of exogenous DNA into the genome occurs readily in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is rare in many other organisms. We identified and disrupted Neurospora crassa genes...
