The Dynamic Fungus: Video Article in Fungal Genetics and Biology

This new journal extension for Fungal Genetics and Biology. It recognizes the importance and impact of dynamic imaging to the field of fungal biology. It welcomes contributions in the form of short and focused articles that include movie recordings. The articles will cover high quality research observations or be highly topical reviews. Both contributions aim to provide forefront information and teaching material to a broad readership. Read More
