Construction of a genetic linkage map of the banana fungal pathogen, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, causal agent of Black Sigatoka disease [PDF]
The haploid, hemibiotrophic ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (Morelet) is the causal agent of black Sigatoka, the most economically important disease of banana (Musa spp.). A genetic linkage map of M.

Activation of the Mating Pheromone Response Pathway of Lentinula edodes by Synthetic Pheromones
Pheromone (PHB)-receptor (RCB) interaction in the mating pheromone response pathway of Lentinula edodes was investigated using synthetic PHBs. Functionality of the C-terminally carboxymethylated synthetic PHBs was demonstrated by concentration-dependent ...

Asexual Cephalosporin C Producer Acremonium chrysogenum Carries a Functional Mating Type Locus [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acremonium chrysogenum , the fungal producer of the pharmaceutically relevant β-lactam antibiotic cephalosporin C, is classified as asexual because no direct observation of mating or meiosis has yet been reported. To assess the potential of A.

Genetic and cytological characterization of the RecA-homologous proteins Rad51 and Dmc1 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad51 + and dmc1 + genes code for homologues of the Escherichia coli recombination protein RecA. Deletion of rad51 + causes slow growth, retardation of cell division and a decrease in viability. rad51Δ cells have a defect in

Genetic regulation of the development of mating projections in Candida albicans. [PDF]
Candida albicans is a major human fungal pathogen, capable of switching among a range of morphological types, such as the yeast form, including white and opaque cell types and the GUT (gastrointestinally induced transition) cell type, the filamentous ...

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Levels of genetic polymorphism: marker loci versus quantitative traits [PDF]
Species are the units used to measure ecological diversity and alleles are the units of genetic diversity. Genetic variation within and among species has been documented most extensively using allozyme electrophoresis.

Many interspecies hybrids have been discovered in yeasts, but most of these hybrids are asexual and can replicate only mitotically. Whole-genome duplication has been proposed as a mechanism by which interspecies hybrids can regain fertility, restoring ...
