Open AccessSequencing the genome of Marssonina brunnea reveals fungus-poplar co-evolution
The fungus Marssonina brunnea is a causal pathogen of Marssonina leaf spot that devastates poplar plantations by defoliating susceptible trees before normal fall leaf drop.

Open AccessObligate mutualism within a host drives the extreme specialization of a fig wasp genome
Fig pollinating wasps form obligate symbioses with their fig hosts. This mutualism arose approximately 75 million years ago. Unlike many other intimate symbioses, which involve vertical transmission of symbion...

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of the heat stress response in the filamentous fungus Metarhizium anisopliae using RNA-Seq
The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae is widely used for biological control of a variety of insect pests. The effectiveness of the microbial pest control agent, however, is limited by poor thermotole...

Open AccessComparative transcriptome sequencing of tolerant rice introgression line and its parents in response to drought stress
Rice (Oryza sativa. L) is more sensitive to drought stress than other cereals, and large genotypic variation in drought tolerance (DT) exists within the cultivated rice gene pool and its wild relatives. Selective...

Open AccessDeep RNA sequencing reveals a high frequency of alternative splicing events in the fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum
Alternative splicing is crucial for proteome diversity and functional complexity in higher organisms. However, the alternative splicing landscape in fungi is still elusive.

Open AccessComparative transcriptome profiling of a rice line carrying Xa39 and its parents triggered by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae provides novel insights into the broad-spectrum hypersensitive response
Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is a devastating rice disease worldwide. Xa39 is a resistance (R) gene with a broad-spectrum hypersensitive response (BSHR) to Xoo. Nevertheless, t...

Metastasis associated genomic aberrations in stage II rectal cancer
Genomic aberrations of rectal carcinoma, especially DNA copy number changes associated with metastasis were largely unclear. We aim to identify the metastasis associated biomarkers in stage II rectal cancer. F...

Open AccessEvidence of peripheral olfactory impairment in the domestic silkworms: insight from the comparative transcriptome and population genetics
The insect olfactory system is a highly specific and sensitive chemical detector, which plays important roles in feeding, mating and finding an appropriate oviposition site. The ecological niche of Bombyx mori ha...

Develo** a dynamic equilibrium system in Escherichia coli to improve the production of recombinant proteins
The combination of Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and the pET expression system is used extensively for the expression of various recombinant proteins (RPs). However, RP overexpression often introduces a growth burd...

Open AccessSwine farm groundwater is a hidden hotspot for antibiotic-resistant pathogenic Acinetobacter
Acinetobacter is present in the livestock environment, but little is known about their antibiotic resistance and pathogenic species in the farm groundwater. Here we investigated antibiotic resistance of Acinetoba...

Open AccessAnnoPRO: a strategy for protein function annotation based on multi-scale protein representation and a hybrid deep learning of dual-path encoding
Protein function annotation has been one of the longstanding issues in biological sciences, and various computational methods have been developed. However, the existing methods suffer from a serious long-tail ...

Open AccessLactobacillus rhamnosus GG ameliorates hyperuricemia in a novel model
Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic syndrome caused by abnormal purine metabolism. Although recent studies have noted a relationship between the gut microbiota and gout, whether the microbiota could ameliorate ...
