This paper describes the development of S-SAP (sequence-specific amplified polymorphism) using a primer derived from the LTR (long terminal repeat) of the Pyggy retrotransposon isolated from Pyrenophora graminea. Fragments were amplified by S-SAP from different Pyrenophora spp., indicating the presence of Pyggy-like sequences in these genomes. The bands were highly polymorphic between isolates and the number of bands differed by as much as 10-fold between species, demonstrating the potential of this method for genetic analysis in fungi. The phylogenetic relationship among the isolates as deduced using S-SAP data is presented, and shows evidence of genetic exchange between P. graminea and P. teres.

Invasive diseases caused by the globally distributed commensal yeast Candida tropicalis are associated with mortality rates of greater than 50%. Notable increases of azole resistance have been observed in this species, particularly within Asia-Pacific regions. Here, we carried out a genetic population study on 1571 global C.

PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play a central role in repressing transposable elements in animal germ cells. It is thought that piRNAs are mainly produced from discrete genomic loci named piRNA clusters, which often contain many "dead" transposon remnants from past invasions and have heterochromatic features. In the genome of silkworm ovary-derived cultured cells called BmN4, a well-established model for piRNA research, torimochi was previously annotated as a unique and specialized genomic region that can capture transgenes and produce new piRNAs bearing a trans-silencing activity.

Somatic mutations may alter important traits in tree fruits, such as fruit color, size and maturation date. Autumn Gala (AGala), a somatic mutation from apple cultivar Gala, matures 4 weeks later than Gala. To understand the mechanisms underlying the delayed maturation, RNA-seq analyses were conducted with fruit sampled at 13 (Gala) and 16 (AGala) time-points during their growth and development.

Diabrocite corn rootworms are one of the most economically significant pests of maize in the United States and Europe and an emerging model for insect-plant interactions. Genome sizes of several species in the genus Diabrotica were estimated using flow cytometry along with that of Acalymma vittatum as an outgroup. Genome sizes ranged between 1.

Background: Transposable elements (TEs) are fragments of DNA that can insert into new chromosomal locations. They represent a great proportion of eukaryotic genomes. The identification and characterization of TEs facilitates understanding the transpositional activity of TEs with their effects on the orchid genome structure.
