Established in 1960, the Fungal Genetics Stock Center is the main open repository for genetically characterized fungi. The FGSC is a member of the World Federation for Culture Collections and the US Federation of Culture Collections. ==Holdings== The FGSC distributes strains of ''Neurospora'' and ''Aspergillus'', as well as limited numbers of ''Fusarium'', ''Magnaporthe'' and most strains from current fungal genome projects.〔(Strains from various genome sequencing programs )〕 In the 1980s and 1990s the FGSC added molecular materials including cloned genes, cloning vectors and gene libraries to the collection. As more fungal genomes have been sequenced, the FGSC has re-evaluated the definition of a genetic system. This has led them to expand the collection, with additional materials including strains from genome programs〔()〕 and mutant collections for organisms such as ''Neurospora crassa'', ''Aspergillus nidulans'', ''Phycomyces blakesleeanus'', and ''Schizophyllum commune''. As a genetic repository, the FGSC has always endeavored to represent the diversity of genetic materials available. To that end, they hold large numbers of strains of a few different species. More specifically, strains from 76 different species representing 23 different genera. Of these, there are more than ten strains for only nineteen different species. These strains have been deposited by 310 different individuals, 64 of whom have deposited only one strain. The FGSC also holds a number of non-accessioned strains including the wild-type strain collection of Dr. David Perkins as well as ''Neurospora'' strains from a number of other researchers who have retired. These are held with the understanding that they will keep them as long as space is available. They are not curated and are available on an as-is basis. They also hold 48,000 tagged integrants of ''Magnaporthe grisea''.〔(Mutant Assay Summary )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fungal Genetics Stock Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
