FOREWORD
The 44th edition of the Fungal Genetics Newsletter contains articles and notes on a wide variety of topics. As usual, the aspergillus and neurospora bibliographies are included, as are a brief list of strains added to the FGSC collection since the publication of the most recent catalog in 1996 and the most recent FGSC mailing list. The abstracts from the 19th Fungal Genetics Conference at Asilomar are published as an on-line supplement and will not be distributed in print format. As always, suggestions regarding the Newsletter are welcome at any time and should be directed to the Newsletter Editor, the FGSC Director and/or to the Fungal Genetics Policy Committee. All address changes and subscription inquiries should be directed to the FGSC.
