Analysis of Tc1-Mariner elements in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum suggests recent ac...
Santana, Mateus F.; Silva, José C. F.; Mizubuti, Eduardo S. G.; Araújo, Elza F.; Queiroz, Marisa V.Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungus that is pathogenic to many plants. Genomic analysis of its revealed transposable element expansion that has strongly influenced the evolutionary trajectory of several species. Transposons from the Tc1-Mariner superfamily are thought to be ubiquitous components of fungal genomes and are generally found in low copy numbers with large numbers of deleterious mutatio...
Revision of Begomovirus taxonomy based on pairwise sequence comparisons
Zerbini, F. Murilo; Brown, Judith K.; Navas-Castillo, Jesús; Moriones, Enrique; Ramos-Sobrinho, Roberto; Silva, José C. F.; Fiallo-Olivé, ElviraViruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) are emergent pathogens of crops throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. By virtue of having a small DNA genome that is easily cloned, and due to the recent innovations in cloning and low-cost sequencing, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of available begomovirus genome sequences. Even so, most of the available sequences...
