Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
IntroductionRecent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an

Diversity of Fungal DNA Methyltransferases and Their Association With DNA Methylation Patterns [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a group of proteins that catalyze DNA methylation by transferring a methyl group to DNA. The genetic variation in DNMTs results in differential DNA methylation patterns associated with various biological processes.

Optimized protocol for culturing and extracting DNA from fungal isolates associated with brown spot needle blight in pine trees. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Effective culturing and DNA extraction protocols are essential for advancing research on fungal pathogens of brown spot needle blight (BSNB) that infect loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and other Pinus species. We evaluated the performance of four widely used
