Aspergillus and Penicillium in the Post-genomic Era
Ronald P. de Vries, Isabelle Benoit Gelber and Mikael Rørdam Andersen present a new book on Aspergillus and Penicillium in the Post-genomic Era This book highlights some of the changes in the studies into these fungi, since the availability of genome sequences. The contributions vary from insights in the taxonomy of these genera, use of genomics for forward genetics and genomic adaptations, to specific stories addressing virulence, carbon starvation, sulphur metabolism, feruloyl esterases, secondary metabolism and pH modulation, to the development of novel methodology for use in parallel to genome sequencing. It the...

The Epigenetics of Centromere Function
The centromere is a complex chromosomal locus where the kinetochore is formed and microtubules attach during cell division. Centromere specification in eukaryotes largely depends on sequence-independent (epigenetic) mechanisms. In addition to endogenous centromeres in model organisms and humans, studies of atypical centromeres (neocentromeres, artificial chromosomes, dicentric chromosomes, engineered chromosomes) that have contributed to the current molecular understanding of centromere function are important. Also of importance is the behavior and regulation of the centromeric histone variant CENP-A, chromatin modificatio...
