Genome Stability: From Virus to Human Application, Second Edition, a volume in the
Translational Epigenetics series, explores how various species maintain genome stability …

Evaluating the quality of a de novo annotation of a complex fungal genome based on RNA-
seq data remains a challenge. In this study, we sequentially optimized a Cufflinks …

Mucorales are the causal agents for the lethal disease known as mucormycosis. Mortality
rates of mucormycosis can reach up to 90%, due to the mucoralean antifungal drug …

Deletion of native centromeres in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus deuterogattii
leads to neocentromere formation. Native centromeres span truncated transposable …

RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiments focused on gene expression involve removal of
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) because it is the major RNA constituent of cells. This process, called …

Microorganisms survive and compete within their environmental niches and avoid
evolutionary stagnation by stochastically acquiring mutations that enhance fitness. Although …

The basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is one of the most encountered
human fungal pathogens, which mainly infects immunocompromised patients and thus …

The genus Fusarium comprises hundreds of species of pathogenic and saprophytic fungi,
usually characterized by a complex secondary metabolism. This includes the production of …

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are small RNA molecules that do not encode any protein.
There is a great variety of ncRNAs with a versatile function in prokaryotes and eukaryotes …

El silenciamiento génico fue descubierto en plantas en 1990. Posteriormente se observó su
presencia en animales y en hongos. Desde entonces el silenciamiento génico se ha …
