Deep RNA-Seq profile reveals biodiversity, plant-microbe interactions and a large family of NBS-LRR resistance genes in walnut (Juglans regia) tissues. [PDF]
Deep RNA-Seq profiling, a revolutionary method used for quantifying transcriptional levels, often includes non-specific transcripts from other co-existing organisms in spite of stringent protocols. Using the recently published walnut genome sequence as a

Canavanine resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
All of the isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii which we tested were resistant to greater than or equal to 3.5 mM canavanine. All of the serotype D isolates and 28% of the serotype A isolates of C. neoformans var. neoformans tested were susceptible to less than or equal to 18 microM canavanine, whereas the remaining 72% of the serotype A ...

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Phenotypic switching in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Phenotypic switching has been described in serotype A and D strains ofCryptococcus neoformans. It occursin vivoduring chronic infection and is associated with differential gene expression and changes in virulence. The switch involves changes in the polysaccharide capsule and cell wall that affect the yeast's ability to resist phagocytosis. In addition,
