A modified sequence capture approach allowing standard and methylation analys...
Bread wheat has a large complex genome that makes whole genome resequencing costly. Therefore, genome complexity reduction techniques such as sequence capture make re-sequencing... -
A world of opportunities with nanopore sequencing
Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION sequencer was launched in pre-release form in 2014 and represents an exciting new sequencing paradigm. The device offers multi-kilobase... -
Identification of functional long non-coding RNAs in C. elegans
Functional characterisation of the compact genome of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans remains incomplete despite its sequencing twenty years ago. The last decade of... -
Speed breeding in growth chambers and glasshouses for crop breeding and model...
To meet the challenge of feeding a growing population, breeders and scientists are continuously looking for ways to increase genetic gain in crop breeding. One way this can be... -
Hidden variation in polyploid wheat drives local adaptation
Wheat has been domesticated into a large number of agricultural environments and has a remarkable ability to adapt to diverse environments. To understand this process, we survey... -
Harnessing plant metabolic diversity
Advances in DNA sequencing and synthesis technologies in the twenty-first century are now making it possible to build large-scale pipelines for engineering plant natural product... -
MinION Analysis and Reference Consortium: Phase 2 data release and analysis o...
Long-read sequencing is rapidly evolving and reshaping the suite of opportunities for genomic analysis. For the MinION in particular, as both the platform and chemistry develop,... -
Opening options for material transfer
The Open Material Transfer Agreement is a material-transfer agreement that enables broader sharing and use of biological materials by biotechnology practitioners working within... -
Adaptation and conservation insights from the koala genome
The koala, the only extant species of the marsupial family Phascolarctidae, is classified as ‘vulnerable’ due to habitat loss and widespread disease. We sequenced the koala... -
Increased transcriptional and metabolic capacity for lipid metabolism in the ...
The human prostate gland comprises three distinct anatomical glandular zones, namely the peripheral, central and transitional zones. Although prostate cancer can arise... -
An improved assembly and annotation of the allohexaploid wheat genome identif...
Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-quality genome sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as that... -
Experimental evidence for rapid genomic adaptation to a new niche in an adapt...
A substantial part of biodiversity is thought to have arisen from adaptive radiations in which one lineage rapidly diversified into multiple lineages specialized to many... -
Developmentally regulated autophagy is required for eye formation in Drosophila
The compound eye of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most intensively studied and best understood model organs in the field of developmental genetics. Herein... -
Comparison of the human gastric microbiota in hypochlorhydric states arising ...
Several conditions associated with reduced gastric acid secretion confer an altered risk of developing a gastric malignancy. Helicobacter pylori-induced atrophic gastritis... -
Comparison of efficiency and specificity of CRISPR-associated (Cas) nucleases...
Molecular tools adapted from bacterial CRISPR (Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) systems for adaptive immunity have become widely used for plant genome... -
SPECTRE: a Suite of PhylogEnetiC Tools for Reticulate Evolution
Split-networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that have proven to be a powerful tool in phylogenetics. Various ways have been developed for computing such networks,... -
Arabidopsis thaliana and Pseudomonas Pathogens Exhibit Stable Associations ov...
Crop disease outbreaks are often associated with clonal expansions of single pathogenic lineages. To determine whether similar boom-and-bust scenarios hold for wild... -
Albugo candida race diversity, ploidy and host-associated microbes revealed ...
Physiological races of the oomycete Albugo candida are biotrophic pathogens of diverse plant species, primarily the Brassicaceae, and cause infections that suppress host... -
Genome Variation and Molecular Epidemiology of Salmonella enterica Serovar Ty...
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of approximately 2,500 distinct serovars of the genus Salmonella but is exceptional in its wide distribution in the environment,...
