Neurospora tetrasperma is a pseudohomothallic filamentous ascomycete with a large (~ 7 Mbp) region of suppressed recombination surrounding its mating-type (mat) locus. The suppressed recombination has lead to sequence divergence between the two mating-type chromosomes of wild-type heterokaryotic strains, while the remaining genome is largely homoallelic. In this study, we use microarray technology to manifest expression divergence linked to mating type in N. tetrasperma. N. tetrasperma and N. crassa, were grown on agar regimes inducing sexual growth (Synthetic Crossing medium) and vegetative growth (Vogel's Medium), respectively. Overall design: [SC]: Neurospora tetrasperma mat-A FGSC#1270; mat-a FGSC#1271; Mat-A FGSC#9033; mat-a FGSC#9034; N. crassa mat-A FGSC#2489 and mat-a FGSC 4200: Synthetic Crossing medium was used as a nutrient regime before sampling and processing [Veg]: Neurospora tetrasperma mat-A FGSC#1270; mat-a FGSC#1271; Mat-A FGSC#9033; mat-a FGSC#9034; N. crassa mat-A FGSC#2489 and mat-a FGSC 4200: Vogel's Medium (Vegetative Medium) was used as a nutrient regime before sampling and processing Less...
