BACKGROUND: Triticum monococcum (2n) is a close ancestor of T. urartu, the A-genome progenitor of cultivated hexaploid
wheat, and is therefore a useful model for the study of components regulating photomorphogenesis in diploid wheat. In
order to develop genetic and genomic resources for such a study, we constructed genome-wide transcriptomes...

Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis involves ~200 assembly
factors, but how these contribute to ribosome
maturation is poorly understood. Here, we
identify a network of factors on the nascent 60S subunit
that actively remodels preribosome structure. At its hub is
Rsa4, a direct substrate of the force-generating ATPase
Rea1. We show that...

As decomposers, fungi are key players in recycling plant material in global carbon cycles. We hypothesized that genomes of early diverging fungi may have inherited pectinases from an ancestral species that had been able to extract nutrients from pectin-containing land plants and their algal allies (Streptophytes). We aimed to infer,...

Gramene is a comparative information resource for plants that integrates data across diverse data domains. In this article,
we describe the development of a quantitative trait loci (QTL) database and illustrate how it can be used to facilitate
both the forward and reverse genetics research. The QTL database contains the...

The Plant Ontology Consortium (POC, http://www.plantontology.org) is a collaborative effort
among model plant genome databases and plant
researchers that aims to create, maintain and
facilitate the use of a controlled vocabulary
(ontology) for plants. The ontology allows users to
ascribe attributes of plant structure (anatomy and
morphology) and developmental stages...

A new functional gene database, FOAM (Functional
Ontology Assignments for Metagenomes), was developed
to screen environmental metagenomic sequence
datasets. FOAM provides a new functional
ontology dedicated to classify gene functions relevant
to environmental microorganisms based on Hidden
Markov Models (HMMs). Sets of aligned protein
sequences (i.e. ‘profiles’) were tailored to...

BACKGROUND: After 2 decades of focused efforts to eradicate polio, the impact of eradication activities on health
systems continues to be controversial. This study evaluated the impact of polio eradication activities on routine immunization
(RI) and primary healthcare (PHC).
METHODS: Quantitative analysis assessed the effects of polio eradication campaigns on...

Microbial communities are responsible for the bulk of biogeochemical processing in temporary headwater streams, yet there is still relatively little known about how community structure and function respond to periodic drying. Moreover, the ability to sample temporary habitats can be a logistical challenge due to the limited capability to measure...
There is a lack of consensus regarding the roles of sulfide saturation versus volatile degassing on the partitioning of Cu and Ag during differentiation and eruption of convergent margin magmas. Because of their oxidized character, volatile-rich magmas from the Eastern Manus Back-arc Basin (EMBB) only reach sulfide saturation following magnetite-driven...
In eukaryotes, ARGONAUTE proteins (AGOs) associate with microRNAs (miRNAs), short
interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and other classes of small RNAs to regulate target RNA or target
loci. Viral infection in plants induces a potent and highly specific antiviral RNA silencing
response characterized by the formation of virus-derived siRNAs. Arabidopsis thaliana has...
