DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-01716-y
Abstract: Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are rare (approximately 1%) in most genomes and are generally considered to have no function. However, penaeid shrimp genomes have a high proportion of SSRs (>23%), raising the question of whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/iai.00331-18
Abstract: Therapy for bacteremia caused by Staphylococcus aureus is often ineffective, even when treatment conditions are optimal according to experimental protocols. Adapted subclones, such as those bearing mutations that attenuate agr-mediated virulence activation, are associated with… read more here.

Heterochromatin in the fungal plant pathogen, Zymoseptoria tritici: Control of transposable elements, genome plasticity and virulence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Genetics"
DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1058741
Abstract: Heterochromatin is a repressive chromatin state that plays key roles in the functional organisation of eukaryotic genomes. In fungal plant pathogens, effector genes that are required for host colonization tend to be associated with heterochromatic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes13111999
Abstract: Non-random spatial organization of the chromosomal material inside the nuclei of brain cells emerges as an important regulatory layer of genome organization and function in health and disease. Here, we discuss how integrative approaches assessing… read more here.
