EuGI: a novel resource for studying genomic islands to facilitate horizontal gene transfer detection in eukaryotes

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Genomic islands (GIs) are inserts of foreign DNA that have potentially arisen through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). There are evidences that GIs can contribute significantly to the evolution of prokaryotes. The acquisition of GIs through HGT

Chromosomal-level assembly of Magnusiomyces clavatus : novel genetic insights on an emerging fungal pathogen

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics
Abstract Magnusiomyces clavatus is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen associated with severe systemic infections in immunocompromised patients, mostly among those suffering from hematological malignancies. Despite the increasing clinical significance, genomic data for M. clavatus remain limited.

Characterization, antifungal potential, cytocompatibility, and regenerative potential of mucoadhesive gel containing antifungal‐β‐cyclodextrin inclusion complexes

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to characterize a mucoadhesive gel containing nystatin (NYS) or chlorhexidine (CHX), complexed or not with β‐cyclodextrin (βCD), and evaluate its rheological and mucoadhesive properties, antifungal efficacy, cytocompatibility, and collagen synthesis potential.

Extensive intrachromosomal duplications in a virulence-associated fungal accessory chromosome

Abstract Filamentous fungi have evolved compartmentalized genomes consisting of conserved core regions and dynamic accessory regions, which aid the adaptation to changing environments including the interaction with host organisms. In the Fusarium oxysporum species complex, accessory

Catheter‐Associated Urinary Tract Infections in Children: An Evidence‐Informed Narrative Review of Diagnosis, Management and Prevention

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are a common healthcare‐associated infection in children and a major contributor to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. This narrative review uses an evidence‐informed approach highlighting recent paediatric literature (2000–2025) to provide an overview

The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

3D modeling of Hi-C contacts: seeing the spatial organization of fungal chromosomes

, 2023
In recent years, significant technical advances have been made to better observe the structure and the organization of chromatin. Many Hi-C data are now available in public databases, at different accuracy and resolution and for various species. Generally, the final results of Hi-C data analyses are summarized with the representation of “contact maps”.

Fine‐tuning quantitative agronomic traits by manipulating gene copy number in rice

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Although plant pan‐genome studies have revealed extensive copy number variations, their phenotypic consequences remain poorly understood. Here, we manipulated the copy number of OsMADS18 in rice (Oryza sativa) cv ‘Hitomebore’ using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
