Article Abstract

Here, we report a chromosome-level genome assembly of Fo47 (12 pseudomolecules; contig N: 4.52 Mb), generated using a combination of PacBio long-read, Illumina paired end, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture sequencing data. Although causes vascular wilt to over 100 plant species, the strain Fo47 is classified as an endophyte and is widely used as a biocontrol agent for plant disease control. The Fo47 genome carries a single accessory chromosome of 4.23 Mb, compared with the reference genome of f. sp. Fol4287. The high-quality assembly and annotation of the Fo47 genome will be a valuable resource for studying the mechanisms underlying the endophytic interactions between and plants as well as for deciphering the genome evolution of the species complex.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is highly transmissible and can cause up to 100% mortality in pigs. The virus has spread across most regions of Asia and Europe, resulting in the deaths of millions of pigs. A deep understanding of the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of ASFV is necessary to effectively manage outbreaks.

Genome imbalance, resulting from varying the dosage of individual chromosomes (aneuploidy), has a more detrimental effect than changes in complete sets of chromosomes (haploidy/polyploidy). This imbalance is likely due to disruptions in stoichiometry and interactions among macromolecular assemblies. Previous research has shown that aneuploidy causes global modulation of protein-coding genes (PCGs), microRNAs, and transposable elements (TEs), affecting both the varied chromosome (cis-located) and unvaried genome regions (trans-located) across various taxa.

The parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei has a single mitochondrial nucleoid, anchored to the basal body of the flagellum via the tripartite attachment complex (TAC). The detergent-insoluble TAC is essential for mitochondrial genome segregation during cytokinesis. The TAC assembles de novo in a directed way from the probasal body towards the kDNA.

Clusters of deep intronic RbFox motifs embedded in large assembly of splicing regulators sequences regulate alternative splicing.

The RbFox RNA binding proteins regulate alternative splicing of genes governing mammalian development and organ function. They bind to the RNA sequence (U)GCAUG with high affinity but also non-canonical secondary motifs in a concentration dependent manner. However, the hierarchical requirement of RbFox motifs, which are widespread in the genome, is still unclear.

Two yeast strains, PYCC 10015 and PYCC 10016, were isolated from soil from an Irish forest. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of the rRNA gene repeat, and the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene, showed that they belong to the and genera of the order , but they did not exactly match any known species.
