Peptides are biopolymers, typically consisting of 2–50 amino acids. They are biologically
produced by the cellular ribosomal machinery or by non-ribosomal enzymes and …

Traditional annotation of protein-encoding genes relied on assumptions, such as one open
reading frame (ORF) encodes one protein and minimal lengths for translated proteins. With …

The last 18 months, or more, have seen a profound shift in our global experience, with many
of us navigating a once-in-100-year pandemic. To date, COVID-19 remains a life …

Background Medicago truncatula, a close relative of alfalfa, is a preeminent model for
studying nitrogen fixation, symbiosis, and legume genomics. The Medicago sequencing …

Since their discovery more than two decades ago, animal long noncoding RNA s (lnc RNA
s) have emerged as important regulators of many biological processes. Recently, a large …

Next‐generation sequencing technologies allow an almost exhaustive survey of the
transcriptome, even in species with no available genome sequence. To produce a Unigene …

The interaction of bacteria with plants can result in either a positive, negative, or neutral
association. The rhizobium-legume interaction is a well-studied model system of a process …

Host compatible rhizobia induce the formation of legume root nodules, symbiotic organs
within which intracellular bacteria are present in plant-derived membrane compartments …

Ongoing efforts to generate a complete and accurate annotation of the genome have
revealed a significant blind spot for small proteins (< 100 amino acids) originating from short …
