Rice is a global staple crop that is susceptible to various pathogens, including Pseudomonas fuscovaginae, causing sheath brown rot, and Rhizoctonia solani AG 1-IA, which causes sheath blight. Notably...

Nature Microbiology - Richard Lenski traces the legacy of Escherichia coli and how science is evolving to use this model organism in new ways.

Leveraging massive comparative genomics to decode millions of mystery genes and lay a future-ready foundation

The plant cell wall regulates development through spatiotemporal modulation of its chemical and mechanical properties. Pectin methylesterification is recognized as a rheological switch controlling wal...

By leveraging both deep learning and hidden Markov models, Helixer achieves broad taxonomic coverage for ab initio gene annotation of eukaryotic genomes from fungi, plants, vertebrates and invertebrat...

Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidn...

SUMMARYFungi use light as a signal for the regulation of development, to guide the growth of reproductive structures, and to protect the fungal cell from DNA damage produced by light and UV radiation....

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions...

Phylogenetic reconstructions are a primary record of protein evolution. But what other records can attest to the deep history of enzymes, and what tools are needed to decode their meaning? Here, we de...

AlphaFold - A practical guide

Cleavage by pathogen-derived proteases of an engineered chimeric protein activates its plant immune receptor component, enabling broad-spectrum resistance to pathogens in plants.

The elucidation of DNA's structure led to questions about how it was...
