Jung, Thomas; Orlikowski, L.; Henricot, B.; Abad-Campos, P.; Aday, A. G.; Aguin Casal, O.; Bakonyi, J.; Cacciola, S. O.; Cech, T.; Chavarriaga, D.An analysis of incidence of Phytophthora spp. in 732 European nurseries producing forest transplants, larger specimen trees, landscape plants and ornamentals, plus 2525 areas in which trees and shrubs were planted, is presented based on work conducted by 38 research groups in 23 European countries between 1972 and 2013. Forty-nine Phytophthora taxa were recorded in 670 nurseries (91.5%); within these nurseries,...
Preserving accuracy in GenBank
Bidartondo, M. I.; Bruns, T. D.; Blackwell, M.; Edwards, I.; Taylor, A. F. S.; Horton, T.; Zhang, N.; Koljalg, U.; May, G.; Kuyper, T. W.; Gilbert, G.GenBank, the public repository for nucleotide and protein sequences, is a critical resource for molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and ecology. While some attention has been drawn to sequence errors (1), common annotation errors also reduce the value of this database. In fact, for organisms such as fungi, which are notoriously difficult to identify, up to 20% of DNA sequence records may have erroneous lin...
