Aspergillus niger is a filamentous fungus that extensively used in industrial fermentations for protein expression and the production of organic acids. Inherent biosynthetic capabilities, such as capacity to secrete these biomolecules high amounts, make A. an attractive host. Although renowned this ability, knowledge molecular components underlie its capacity, intercellular trafficking processes secretion mechanisms far from complete. Here, we introduce standardized set tools, consisting...

Abstract Animal breeding is time-consuming, costly, and affected by stochastic events related to Mendelian genetics, fertility, litter size. Careful planning mandatory ensure a successful outcome using the least number of animals, hence adhering 3Rs animal welfare. We have developed an R package, accessible also through interactive website, that optimizes design provides comprehensive report suitable for any breeder genetically defined traits.
