FOREWORD

The 47^th 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 is the most recent Fungal Genetics Stock Center mailing list. The abstracts from the Neurospora 2000 conference at Asilomar are published as an electronic supplement available at the FGSC web site. The 8^th edition of the FGSC catalog is also available. 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.

Peter Russell has been the Editor of the Fungal Genetics Newsletter since 1981. He has done an exceptional job over the last two decades, and I know I speak for many of us in the community when I express gratitude for his sustained cheerful and rigorous service.

After almost two decades as editor of the Fungal Genetics Newsletter (formerly the Neurospora Newsletter), I decided it was time to hand the task over to someone new. I enjoyed being Editor very much, and I shall miss it. I wish Matt Sachs well in taking over the Editorship.
