This volume covers the current progress in understanding the mechanisms for genomic control of gene expression, which has grown considerably in the last few years as insight into genome organization and chromatin regulation has advanced. * Includes information on aspergillus genomes * Discusses sex and its role in virulence of human fungal pathogens * Covers the genomic analysis of neurospora
