... The strictest adherence to previously accepted N. crassa naming convention would be that genes not receive a symbol and name (e.g., cot-1 and colonial temperature sensitive-1) until a mutant phenotype is described or a function is demonstrated. However, it is not realistic to expect, for example, th ...
