A combination of a RADseq method (ddRAD) with long read high throughput sequencing (Roche 454) was tuned up in order to identify and validate a set of SNPs useful for gene diversity analysis in two important South American ...

Arapaima gigas is a large air-breathing fish found in Amazonian rivers, a characteristic that gives this species an advantage in oxygen-deprived waters. It shows high potential for aquaculture in the Amazon region due ...

Recent advances in DNA sequencing techniques have led to an explosion in the amount of available genome sequencing data and this provided an inexhaustible source of uncharacterized glycoside hydrolases (GH) to be studied ...

Fungal invasive infections are an increasing health problem. The intrinsic complexity of pathogenic fungi and the unmet clinical need for new and more effective treatments requires a detailed knowledge of the infection ...

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), also known as lucerne, is a major forage crop worldwide. In the United States, it has recently become the third most valuable field crop, with an estimated value of over $9.3 billion. Alfalfa ...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) diversity associated with tocosh, Peruvian traditional fermented potatoes, was for the first time investigated by culturing and high throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches. They were applied on ...

Novel simple nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified using 454 transcriptome pyrosequencing in the snail Concholepas concholepas. From 2,991 contigs annotated with SNPs from De novo assembly, 7,069 putative polymorphisms ...
