A major goal in greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter ‘sage-grouse’) conservation is to spend limited resources efficiently by conserving large and functioning populations. We used maximum count data from leks (n = 4,885) to delineate high abundance population centers that contain 25, 50, 75, and 100% of the known breeding...
We re-sequenced the Pseudoperonospora cubensis transcriptome to provide the first extensive transcriptome-wide survey of alternative splicing in an obligate biotrophic pathogen during host infection. The libraries from biological replicates of cucumber leaves infected with Ps. cubensis for 2, 3, 4, and 8 days post inoculation (dpi) were re-sequenced using 100-mer...

Cryptococcus, a major cause of disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, kills over 600,000 people per year
worldwide. Genes involved in the virulence of the meningitis-causing fungus are being characterized at an increasing rate, and to
date, at least 648 Cryptococcus gene names have been published. However, these data are scattered...

Flower number is the primary determinant of yield in pyrethrum (Tanacetum cineariifolium). Traditional estimates of flower numbers use physical harvesting of flowers, which is time consuming, destructive, and complicated. The precision of flower number estimates may be highly influenced by spatial heterogeneity of plant density and vigor. Here, we examined...
Pseudoperonospora cubensis is an obligate pathogen and
causative agent of cucurbit downy mildew. To help advance
our understanding of the pathogenicity of P. cubensis, we
used RNA-Seq to improve the quality of its reference
genome sequence. We also characterized the RNA-Seq
dataset to inventory transcript isoforms and infer alternative
splicing...
