Hybrids of RNA viruses and viroid-like elements replicate in fungi
Nature Communications, 2023 Earth’s life may have originated as self-replicating RNA, and it has been argued that RNA viruses and viroid-like elements are remnants of such pre-cellular RNA world. RNA viruses are defined by linear RNA genomes encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase

Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 Prompt detection and identification of fungal pathogens at the genus and species level is critical in order to provide timely antifungal therapy. Here, we highlight the vital role of molecular diagnostics in achieving a fast and definitive diagnosis of ...

Contamination inside CT gantry in the SARS-CoV-2 era
European Radiology Experimental, 2020 We investigated whether the internal gantry components of our computed tomography (CT) scanner contain severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ribonucleic acid (RNA), bacterial or fungal agents.

Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated RNA Release in
mSphere, 2019 Eukaryotic cells, including fungi, release extracellular vesicles (EVs). These lipid bilayered compartments play essential roles in cellular communication and pathogenesis. EV composition is complex and includes proteins, glycans, pigments, and RNA. RNAs

Two classes of small antisense RNAs in fungal RNA silencing triggered by non-integrative transgenes [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2003 Transformation of Mucor circinelloides with self-replicative plasmids containing a wild-type copy of the carotenogenic gene carB causes silencing of the carB function in 3% of transformants. Genomic analyses revealed a relationship between silenced phenotype and number of copies of plasmids.

Viroid-like RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-encoding ambiviruses are abundant in complex fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Ambiviruses are hybrid infectious elements encoding the hallmark gene of RNA viruses, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and self-cleaving RNA ribozymes found in many viroids.

Comparison of different methods for total RNA extraction from sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2014 Background: Rhizoctonia solani (teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris) is one of the most important pathogens of rice (Oryza sativa L.) that causes severe yield losses in all rice-growing regions.

Similar Characteristics of siRNAs of Plant Viruses Which Replicate in Plant and Fungal Hosts
Biology, 2022 RNA silencing is a host innate antiviral mechanism which acts via the synthesis of viral-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs). We have previously reported the infection of phytopathogenic fungi by plant viruses such as cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and
