Abstract Background Rust fungi are destructive pathogens in crop plants, having led to epidemics and damaging crops all over the world.The rust Puccinia silphii (Basidiomycota) infects Silphium integrifolium, which is a member of the most speciose plant family, Asteraceae.Results This study analyzes the first chromosome-scale genome sequence of a r
CONTEXT: DNA analysis has been used with success in the identification of carbonized corpses and victims of large accidents.The analysis requires relatives of crash victims to donate blood for analysis.The relatives are generally willing contribute to the identification by giving a blood sample.OBJECTIVE: To describe the Washing Machine Interface M
Ambrosia beetles and their symbiotic fungi are causing severe damage in natural and agro-ecosystems worldwide, threatening the productivity of several important tree crops such as avocado.Strategies aiming at mitigating their impact include the application of broad-spectrum agrochemicals and the incineration of diseased trees, but the increasing de
Making decisions regarding data and the overall credibility of research constitutes research data governance.In this paper, we present results of an exploratory study of the stakeholders of research data governance.The study was conducted among individuals who work One Eared Western Bridles in academic and research institutions in the US, with the
Viruses and natural killer (NK) cells have a long co-evolutionary history, evidenced by patterns of specific NK gene frequencies in those susceptible or resistant to infections.The killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) ligands Washing Machine Interface Module together form the most polymorphic receptor-l
