Experimental techniques for identifying essential genes (for example) in prokaryotes are generally expensive, taking a long time and sometimes unrealistic. Emerging silico methods provide alternative methods for for example prediction, but often have limits including significant calculation requirements and a lack...
In recent years, African swine fever has become the main threat of animal health for the pig industry. To facilitate the rapid genetic analysis of its causal agent, the African swine fever virus (ASFV), we have developed a simple and effective...
Despite hundreds of sequentered arabidopsis genomes, very few things are known about the degree of genomic collinearity within a single species due to the low number of assemblies at the chromosome level. Here we report assemblies of reference quality at the...
Due to the rapid expansion of microbial taxonomy, an accurate identification of common mushrooms in industry and agriculture such as trichoderma species are difficult. In this study, we introduce the online multi-line identification system (fog) for automated three hundred and forty-nine...
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a gram-positive pathogen that mainly affects humans, livestock and fish. Mobile genetic elements play an important role in the evolution of GBS, its adaptation to species and host niches, as well as its pathogenicity. In particular,...
The Hepatitis C (HCV) virus is one of the serious health problems affecting a third of the world’s population. The high variations of the HCV genome are assigned to rapid replication by NS5B polymerase and therefore constitute the most attractive target...
