Integration of foreign DNA into a host genome is often detrimental to the host organism, as the DNA is often of viral or transposon origin. Many organisms have established DNA surveillance and genome integrity mechanisms to defend against these harmful DNA insertions. Neurospora crassa, a filamentous fungus belonging to the Ascomycota group, has several DNA defense mechanisms to combat foreign DNA integration to its genome. One such mechanism is Meiotic Silencing of Unpaired DNA (MSUD). During meiosis, this remarkable system can detect unpaired genes on homologous chromosomes during sexual reproduction and silence their expression throughout meiosis. In order for the …
