We used wastewater-based epidemiology and amplicon-based long-read high-throughput sequencing for surveillance of enteroviruses (EVs) in Maricopa County, Arizona, Southwest United States. We collected 48 samples from 13 sites in three municipalities between 18 June and …
Read PDFOver the past decade, the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, has invaded Europe and America and has become a major agricultural pest in these areas, thereby prompting intense research activities to better understand its biology. …
Read PDFIllumina sequencing allows rapid, cheap and accurate whole genome bacterial analyses, but short reads (<300 bp) do not usually enable complete genome assembly. Long-read sequencing greatly assists with resolving complex bacterial genomes, particularly when combined …
Read PDFSystematic variation in the methylation of cytosines at CpG sites plays a critical role in early development of humans and other mammals. Of particular interest are regions of differential methylation between parental alleles, as these …
Read PDFLong-read nanopore sequencing enables direct high-resolution breakpoint mapping on balanced carriers of reciprocal translocation. The mean sequencing depth on the translocated chromosomes to achieve accurate mapping of breakpoints ranged from 2.5-fold to 6.2-fold. To speed …
Read PDFGenomic structural variations, previously considered rare events, are widely recognized as a major source of inter-individual variability and hence, a major hurdle in optimum patient stratification and disease management. Herein, we focus on large complex …
Read PDFRecently developed nanopore sequencing technologies offer a unique opportunity to rapidly close the genome and to identify complete sequences of mobile genetic elements (MGEs). In this study, 17 isolates of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> (<i>Lm</i>) epidemic clone …
Read PDFHybrid genome assembly has emerged as an important technique in bacterial genomics, but cost and labor requirements limit large-scale application. We present Ultraplexing, a method to improve per-sample sequencing cost and hands-on time of Nanopore …
Read PDFBrucellaphage EF4 was isolated from elk feces. The 38,321-bp double-stranded DNA genome is predicted to contain 72 coding regions, 38 of which have been assigned predicted functions. This phage displays nucleotide similarity to other brucellaphages …
Read PDFThis study aimed to obtain the full-length transcriptome of purslane (<i>Portulaca oleracea</i>); assorted plant samples were used for single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. Based on SMRT, functional annotation of transcripts, transcript factors (TFs) analysis, simple sequence …
Read PDFGenomic structural variants, including translocations, inversions, insertions, deletions, and duplications, are challenging to be reliably detected by traditional genomic technologies. In particular, balanced translocations and inversions can neither be identified by microarrays since they do …
Read PDFTransgene insertion patterns are critical for the analysis of transgenic animals because the influence of transgenes may change depending on the insertion pattern (such as copy numbers and orientations of concatenations) and the insertion position …
Read PDFEast Coast fever (ECF) in cattle is caused by the Apicomplexan protozoan parasite <i>Theileria parva</i>, transmitted by the three-host tick <i>Rhipicephalus appendiculatus</i>. The African buffalo (<i>Syncerus caffer</i>) is the natural host for <i>T. parva</i> but …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Mitochondrial DNA is remarkably polymorphic. This is why animal geneticists survey mitochondrial genomes variations for fundamental and applied purposes. We present here an approach to sequence whole mitochondrial genomes using nanopore long-read sequencing. Our method …
Read PDFThe ancestral tomato species are known to possess genes that are valuable for improving traits in breeding. Here, we aimed to construct high-quality de novo genome assemblies of Solanum pimpinellifolium 'LA1670' and S. lycopersicum var. …
Read PDFNormalization of cDNA is widely used to improve the coverage of rare transcripts in analysis of transcriptomes employing next-generation sequencing. Recently, long-read technology has been emerging as a powerful tool for sequencing and construction of …
Read PDFHigh-throughput sequencing is one of the approaches used for the detection of foodborne pathogens such as noroviruses. Long-read sequencing has advantages over short-read sequencing in speed, read length, and lower fragmentation bias, which makes it …
Read PDFThe PRDM9 protein determines sites of meiotic recombination in humans by directing meiotic DNA double-strand breaks to specific loci. Targeting specificity is encoded by a long array of C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> zinc fingers that bind to DNA. …
