Abstract:

Recent growth of the FGSC collection has been dominated by genetically engineered strains and material for genetically engineering fungi. This is as
true for Aspergillus related resources as it is for any with the recent deposit of hundreds of fungal strains, plasmids, and nearly ten thousand gene
disruption constructs. All of these materials have been in great demand and we have adapted techniques developed at the FGSC for managing Neurospora,
Pichia, Candida, and Cryptococcus resources to our growing collection of Aspergillus mutants. Among the challenges facing the growing Aspergillus
community is the division of effort amongwidelydisparate areas.The FGSC seeks to be a bridge between the research communities and provides materials
for research with model organisms, plant and medical pathogens, industrial strains as well as strains used in manufacture of household products, or foods
and beverages. The tools developed in these systems including cloning vectors, expression and protein tagging vectors, find wide application, crossing
species and even genus barriers to impact research and development around the world. The FGSC has distributed materials to clients in over 40 different
countries on every continent in the last ten years. Having materials publicly available amplifies the impact of those materials. Publicly available receive
as much as twice as many citations as do materials held privately. Amplify the impact of your research. The FGSC is supported by grant 0742713 from
the US National Science Foundation.
