Working on it... =) Array experiments are being done on Coprinus that will hopefully generate some markers that we can use to try and do analogous experiments. Certainly yeast mother-daughter cell comparisons and yeast/filamentous transitions have been done in dimorphic fungi like Histoplasma, Blastomyces, and Coccidioides. Sexual development and asexual condidation have also been explored both through EST and SSH approaches and microarrays. Ala evo-devo?

I am always thinking of insects and gene expression patterns, etc. Aside from sequencing, is anyone studying things like gene expression patterns ?
