Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria Leaf Blotch disease of wheat and has evolved to overcome most chemical and genetic control methods. As such, new tools are required for future disease control. We identified Pseudomonas isolates that …
Read PDFWe report here the draft genome sequence of an <i>Enterobacter asburiae</i> strain P67, sequence type 252 (ST252), isolated from a fecal specimen of a <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>-infected male patient from Sikkim, India. The genome was 4,731,308 …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has become an integral part of routine analysis for microbiologists. The process of sequencing dozens of samples generates vast amounts of data that cannot be annotated manually. To address this challenge, numerous …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>With the growing availability of reference-grade genome assemblies across diverse taxa, there is an increasing need for efficient and scalable tools for multi-species comparative genomics, including synteny detection. Here, we introduce ntSynt, a scalable utility …
Read PDFThe African BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) is a Pan-African initiative aimed at improving food systems and biodiversity conservation through genomics while ensuring equitable data sharing and benefits. The Open Institute is the knowledge exchange platform of …
Read PDFPlant carnivory evolved through gene co-option and whole genome duplications (WGDs) over millions of years in at least 13 independent flowering plant lineages, but its genetic mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate these mechanisms in …
Read PDFEarthworms have been extensively studied as ancient soil invertebrates, that are highly diverse. Previous studies of these invertebrates have mainly focused on their ecosystem services, medicinal value, and ecological habits. However, their genomic analysis remains …
Read PDFThis study reports the draft genome sequence of <i>Microbacterium</i> sp. MAHUQ-60, a bacterial strain isolated from the rhizosphere of an eggplant located in Anseong, South Korea, in 2019. The genome consists of 3,425,239 base pairs …
Read PDFGenomic studies of Borrelia are essential for understanding Lyme borreliosis epidemiology and biology but are limited by slow, labor-intensive culture methods. Here, we introduce an approach that overcomes the need for extended culture by combining …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) offers a cost-effective solution to access genomic information on many samples. The advent of GBS has promoted large scale genomic analyses, including linkage analysis, heritability estimation, inference of genetic relatedness and genome-wide …
Read PDFWe report an updated draft genome sequence of <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. isolate H28, a melanin-producing bacterium recovered from the sediments of Meycauayan River, Philippines. The improvement in sequencing methodology is reflected in the reported statistics. The …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is a widely used algorithm for estimating similarity between large datasets in bioinformatics, with applications in genome assembly, sequence alignment, and metagenomics. However, traditional single-metric LSH approaches often lead to inefficiencies, particularly …
Read PDF<i>Gilbertella persicaria</i> is a phytopathogenic fungus that causes soft rot in several fruit crops. Here, I report the draft genome sequence of <i>G. persicaria</i> strain SHK1000 isolated from fig fruit, and consisting of total length …
Read PDFThis study investigates autosome evolution between river buffalo (Bubablus bubalis, BBU) and cattle (Bos taurus, BTA), two closely related species within the Bovidae family. Despite differences in chromosome numbers (2n = 60 in cattle and …
Read PDFThe endometrial <i>Schaalia turicensis</i> strain R31 genome was isolated from a post-hysterectomy endometrial glycerol swab obtained from a woman diagnosed with adenomyosis. Here, we report a 1.97 Mb complete draft genome sequence of this strain.
Read PDFThe complete genome sequence of <i>Bacillus licheniformis</i> strain KNU11, a soil isolate that displays robust proteolytic enzyme production (e.g., proteases) and potential to degrade environmental pollutants. The 4,201,713 bp circular chromosome (46.0% G + C) …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Understanding the structure and function of microbial genomes is crucial for uncovering their ecological roles, evolutionary trajectories, and potential applications in health, biotechnology, agriculture, food production, and environmental science. However, genome reconstruction and annotation remain …
Read PDFWidow spiders of the genus <i>Latrodectus</i> are important animals for biomedical, pest and conservation research. Here, we present the assembled genomes of two closely related <i>Latrodectus</i> species: the Australian <i>L. hasselti</i> and the New Zealand …
Read PDFStenopsyche angustata, a species within the diverse order Trichoptera, is widely distributed across freshwater environments and exhibits unique ecological traits that make it an ideal subject for studying adaptive evolution. In this study, we employed …
