  • Characterizing the Accuracy of Phylogenetic Analyses that Leverage 16S rRNA Sequencing Data

    Creator:
    Humphreys, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences hallmark modern microbiology. These sequences provide culture-independent insight into the abundance and distribution of microbiota and serve as a principle resource through which microbial community diversity is measured. Consequently, researchers rely on 16S gene sequences to test hypotheses rooted in ecology, evolution, and disease....

  • Mutagenic Analysis of Victorin Sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana and Avena sativa

    Creator:
    Seshadri, Rishi S.
    Abstract:
    The fungal pathogen Cochliobolus victoriae, the causal agent of Victoria blight, produces a host-selective pathogenicity factor called victorin. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a dominant gene called "supersense" (SSN) confers constitutive victorin sensitivity at very low concentrations. SSN encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) protein. In the SSN-carrying Heiligkreuztal 2 ecotype (TAIR Germplasm...
