Winston Churchill and France: A Certain Ideal

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines relations between Winston Churchill and France. It argues that Churchill was sympathetic to France and, in particular, unusual among Englishmen of his generation in being sympathetic to its political system, but also that this sympathy did not make Churchill consistent in his relations with France.

Optimization of Spaced K-mer Frequency Feature Extraction using Genetic Algorithms for Metagenome Fragment Classification

Journal of ICT Research and Applications, 2018
K-mer frequencies are commonly used in extracting features from metagenome fragments. In spite of this, researchers have found that their use is still inefficient. In this research, a genetic algorithm was employed to find optimally spaced k-mers.

A fractal pattern of hierarchical genetic population structure in mixed stocks across fish segregated by dams revealed by genomic resources for curimba Prochilodus lineatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Genomic resources, new microsatellite markers and a novel observation of a fractal pattern in the genetic population structure are presented for curimba, Prochilodus lineatus, a freshwater migratory model species of South America. Our main goals were to investigate the presence of mixed fish stocks and the effects of damming‐induced ...

K-mer-based host screening v2

, 2016
K-mer-based approaches to determining sequence similiarity can befaster than traditional use of BLAST. This application usesJellyfishto index host FASTA files, then uses the mode value (default 2)of the number of matching k-mers (default k=20) from the input sequenceto determine whether the sequence is similar enough to the host sequence to be rejected.

Multi‐omics analyses shed lights on the evolution and fruit development of Chinese raspberries (Rubus spp.)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
High‐quality genomes of four wild raspberry species, analysis of their genetic relationships, identification of centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploration of fruit quality regulation, and discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruits provides valuable resources for raspberry breeding ...

SKraken: Fast and Sensitive Classification of Short Metagenomic Reads based on Filtering Uninformative k-mers

Bioinformatics, 2017
The study of microbial communities is an emerging field that is revolutionizing many disciplines from ecology to medicine. The major problem when analyzing a metagenomic sample is to taxonomic annotate its reads in order to identify the species in the ...

Structural variation drives rhizome innovation and adaptive divergence in sister Medicago species

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chromosome‐scale genome analysis, population resequencing, stress‐responsive transcriptomes and functional assays showed that coding and regulatory structural variants, especially gene duplications and noncoding presence‐absence variants, underlie rhizome formation in alpine Medicago archiducis‐nicolai and contrasting xeric adaptation in its non ...

Near‐complete genome assembly of a transformation‐efficient elite inbred line LH244 and its comparison with B73

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Analysis of a near‐complete assembly of the genome of the highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 revealed its high genetic similarity to B73 and will serve as a much‐needed resource for functional genomics and genome editing of maize. ABSTRACT The highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 represents an attractive model for gene discovery and ...

Inferring Staphylococcus aureus host species and cross-species transmission from a genome-based model

BMC Genomics
Background Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that can colonize humans and various animals. However, the host-associated determinants of S. aureus remain uncertain, which leads to difficulties in inferring its host species and cross-species ...
