Genomic diversity of the genus Stenotrophomonas [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 1999
The clinical and environmental importance of Stenotrophomonas bacteria requires thorough, molecular studies on their epidemiology and taxonomy. In order to obtain a complete genomic profile of this genus, over 100 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains from various origins were investigated by AFLP fingerprinting.

PolyTB: a genomic variation map for Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2014
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second major cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. Recent advances in DNA sequencing are leading to the ability to generate whole genome information in clinical isolates ...

Characterization of Autozygosity in Pigs in Three-Way Crossbreeding

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Crossbreeding in livestock can be used to increase genetic diversity. The resulting increase in variability is related to the heterozygosity of the crossbred animal. The evolution of diversity during crossbreeding can be assessed using genomic data.

Reconstructing the maize leaf regulatory network using ChIP-seq data of 104 transcription factors

Nature Communications, 2020
Transcriptional factors (TFs) bind in a combinatorial fashion to specify the on-and-off states of genes in a complex and redundant regulatory network. Here, the authors construct the transcription regulatory network in maize leaf using 104 TFs ChIP-seq ...

Genetic and Genomic Characterization of a New Beef Cattle Composite Breed (Purunã) Developed for Production in Pasture-Based Systems

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Purunã is a composite beef cattle breed, developed in Southern Brazil by crossing the Angus, Charolais, Canchim, and Caracu breeds. The goal of this study was to perform the first genetic characterization of the Purunã breed, based on both pedigree and ...

A quantitative account of genomic island acquisitions in prokaryotes [PDF]

, 2011
Background Microbial genomes do not merely evolve through the slow accumulation of mutations, but also, and often more dramatically, by taking up new DNA in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

Mating system manipulation and the evolution of sex-biased gene expression in Drosophila

Nature Communications, 2017
Sexual selection on males is thought to favour male-biased gene expression. Here, Veltsos et al. experimentally evolve Drosophila pseudoobscura under different mating systems and, contrary to expectation, most often find masculinization of the ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) revealed by genotyping-by-sequencing

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) breeding and cultivar development is hampered by limited information regarding its genetic and phenotypic diversity. To explore diversity in bermudagrass, a total of 206 Cynodon accessions consisting of 193 common bermudagrass

Genotyping-by-sequencing of Brassica oleracea vegetables reveals unique phylogenetic patterns, population structure and domestication footprints

Horticulture Research, 2018
Which came first: the broccoli or the cauliflower? A comparison of gene variations in modern-day offspring of wild cabbage shows that broccoli may have preceded the appearance of cauliflower in domesticated crops.

Identification of superior parental lines for biparental crossing via genomic prediction.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A parental selection approach based on genomic prediction has been developed to help plant breeders identify a set of superior parental lines from a candidate population before conducting field trials.
