▪ Abstract Large-genome eukaryotes use heritable cytosine methylation to silence
promoters, especially those associated with transposons and imprinted genes. Cytosine …

Many species of fungi and oomycetes are plant pathogens of great economic importance.
Over the past 7 years, the genomes of more than 30 of these filamentous plant pathogens …

Transcription factor (TF) DNA sequence preferences direct their regulatory activity, but are
currently known for only∼ 1% of eukaryotic TFs. Broadly sampling DNA-binding domain …

Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual
reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of …

We present two algorithms in this paper: GeneWise, which predicts gene structure using
similar protein sequences, and Genomewise, which provides a gene structure final parse …

Fusarium species are among the most important phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi. To
understand the molecular underpinnings of pathogenicity in the genus Fusarium, we …

Magnaporthe grisea is the most destructive pathogen of rice worldwide and the principal
model organism for elucidating the molecular basis of fungal disease of plants. Here, we …

Identifying the mechanisms of eukaryotic genome evolution by comparative genomics is
often complicated by the multiplicity of events that have taken place throughout the history of …

Evidence suggests that haematopoietic stem cells might have unexpected developmental
plasticity, highlighting therapeutic potential. For example, bone-marrow-derived hepatocytes …

Trichoderma reesei is the main industrial source of cellulases and hemicellulases used to
depolymerize biomass to simple sugars that are converted to chemical intermediates and …
