An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome
(Scientific Reports, 2018-05-24)
We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ...
Variations in association of nasal microbiota with virulent and non-virulent strains of Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis in weaning piglets
(Veterinary Research, 2020-02-03)
Glaesserella (formerly Haemophilus) parasuis causes Glässer's disease, which results in high economic loss in the swine industry. To understand the polymicrobial interactions of G. parasuis and the nasal ...
Exploiting Genetic and Genomic Resources to Enhance Heat-Tolerance in Tomatoes
(Agronomy, 2019-01-08)
High temperature is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses in tomatoes. Many studies
highlighted that even small increases in temperature can alter the plant reproductive system, causing ...
Genetic diversity and selection signatures of the beef ‘Charolais de Cuba’ breed
(Scientific Reports, 2018-07-20)
In this study, we used BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip data to estimate the structure, putative
ancestral origin as well as to identify regions with selective sweeps that may have had an important
role ...
