Abstract
A vector developed to transform fungi can be used to study the expression of a gene of interest. The vector can provide for the expression of signal proteins in fungi that can be observed and/or monitored. The vector can be used to investigate the effects of RNA interference on a gene of interest in pathogenic fungi. Systems and methods of using the vector are provided.
Claims11
A nucleic acid comprising the nucleic acid SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A method of assessing the effects of RNA interference in a fungus, comprising:
- transforming the fungus with a plasmid vector comprising SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and a gene of interest inserted into a cloning site in the plasmid vector;
- and
- detecting the presence or absence of one or more of a first signal protein and a second signal protein encoded by the plasmid vector.
