Spatially resolved transcriptomics reveals plant host responses to pathogens
Background Thorough understanding of complex model systems requires the characterisation of processes in different cell types of an organism. This can be achieved with... -
Exploring gene networks in two sunflower lines with contrasting leaf senescen...
Background Leaf senescence is a complex process, controlled by multiple genetic and environmental variables. In sunflower, leaf senescence is triggered abruptly following... -
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... -
New approaches for assembly of short-read metagenomic data
In recent years, the use of longer-range read data combined with advances in assembly algorithms has stimulated big improvements in the contiguity and quality of genome...
