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 ...

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 ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in coding regions represent a useful tool for understanding the immune response against pathogens and stressful environmental conditions. In this study, a SNPs database was ...
