<i>Pseudomonas fulva</i> MTT5, isolated from maize leaf surfaces, exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. We present the complete genome sequence of <i>P. fulva</i> MTT5. The 4.9 Mb genome contains 4,488 predicted genes and a GC content of …
Read PDF<i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> is a soil-dwelling bacterium causing melioidosis, a severe and often fatal disease (10-40% lethality). Here, we report 20 complete high-quality, closed genomes (7.0-7.5 Mbp, ~68.1% GC) from Vietnamese soil isolates, assembled from Oxford …
Read PDF<i>Bacillus</i> contamination in plant-based food products is a significant concern due to heat-resistant spores that can survive heating and proliferate during storage or handling, possibly leading to foodborne illnesses. Given the potential of high-throughput DNA …
Read PDFTigridiopalma magnifica, a member of the Melastomataceae family, is a monotypic genus perennial plant species endemic to South China. Due to its rarity and restricted distribution, the species has been designated as a national second-level …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The characterisation of circulating nucleic acid biomarkers in liquid biopsy based diagnostics holds great potential to transform the landscape of early cancer detection and screening. These tests are increasingly incorporating information beyond the primary sequence, …
Read PDFPortulacaria afra (P. afra), or Spekboom as it is locally known, is a versatile evergreen shrubby succulent plant in the family Didiereaceae and endemic to the south-eastern parts of southern Africa. P. afra is not …
Read PDFGiardia duodenalis, a protozoan parasite of important zoonotic concern, is estimated to cause approximately 280 million human infections annually worldwide. Currently, genome sequencing of G. duodenalis mainly relies on in vitro axenic clones; however, for …
Read PDFHairy/Enhancer of Split (HES) proteins are critical for animal development and for the regulation of human diseases. The <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> genome encodes six HES orthologs, including HLH-29 . We used Nanopore sequencing on the MinION …
Read PDFSeveral arboviruses including Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses are emerging and re-emerging in many parts of the world over last two decades. Thus, environmental surveillance of the mosquito borne viruses employing …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>In immunohematology case studies the knowledge about variants of the blood group gene of interest can facilitate antibody diagnosis. Known gene variants can be rapidly genotyped by specific methods, but the identification of unknown variants …
Read PDFChemical risk assessment can benefit from integrating informative biomarkers in human biomonitoring (HBM). Beyond exposure biomarkers, effect biomarkers inform on biological reactions in the body, potentially leading to adverse effects, while susceptibility biomarkers address inter-individual …
Read PDF<i>Burkholderia gladioli</i> is a Gram-negative bacterium with multi-host adaptability as both a plant pathogen and an opportunistic human pathogen. It is also known as a producer of diverse bioactive metabolites. This dataset presents the first …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Genetic defects in von Willebrand factor (VWF) can lead to von Willebrand disease (VWD). Identifying causative or modifier variants of <i>VWF</i> is crucial for the diagnosis, classification, and clinical management of VWF disorders. However, owing …
Read PDFWhole-genome sequencing provides the highest resolution for characterizing pathogen evolution, epidemiology, and diagnostics. Genome assemblies contain information on the identity and potential phenotypes of a pathogen. Likewise, variant calling can inform on transmission patterns and …
Read PDFHighbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fields can remain productive for decades. However, some older fields decline in plant health and exhibit lower yields. After re-planting with new stock, the yields continue to suffer. This condition …
Read PDFGrapevine (<i>Vitis vinifera</i> L.) cultivation is an important agricultural sector worldwide. Its expansion into new areas, like Kazakhstan, brings significant phytosanitary risks. Viroids, such as grapevine yellow speckle viroid 1 (GYSVd-1) and hop stunt viroid …
Read PDFLong intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are regulatory transcripts from intergenic regions with diverse expression patterns, but whether the activation of lincRNA is widespread and predictable remains unclear. Here, we applied Oxford Nanopore Technology Direct RNA …
Read PDFWe report seven highquality draft genomes of <i>Ralstonia</i> spp. isolated from the Harvard Forest Long-Term Warming Experimental plots: four <i>de novo</i> hybrid assemblies and three <i>de novo</i> long-read assemblies. The genomes have a minimum estimated …
Read PDFMetagenomics enables direct investigation of the gene content and potential functions of gut bacteria without isolation and culture. However, metagenome-assembled genomes are often incomplete and have low contiguity due to challenges in assembling repeated genomic …
Read PDF<i>Campylobacter hepaticus</i> is known to cause spotty liver disease (SLD) in layer chickens around peak production. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two <i>C. hepaticus</i> strains, USA1 and USA5, from the United States. …
