Decoding the massive genome of loblolly pine using haploid DNA and novel assembly strategies
- D. Neale, J. Wegrzyn, +34 authors C. Langley
- Engineering, Biology
- Genome Biology
- 4 March 2014
BackgroundThe size and complexity of conifer genomes has, until now, prevented full genome sequencing and assembly. The large research community and economic importance of loblolly pine, Pinus taeda… Expand
Accuracy of Genomic Selection Methods in a Standard Data Set of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.)
- M. Resende, P. Munoz, +7 authors M. Kirst
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 1 April 2012
Genomic selection can increase genetic gain per generation through early selection. Genomic selection is expected to be particularly valuable for traits that are costly to phenotype and expressed… Expand
Whole-exome targeted sequencing of the uncharacterized pine genome.
- Leandro G Neves, J. Davis, W. Barbazuk, M. Kirst
- Biology, Medicine
- The Plant journal : for cell and molecular…
- 1 July 2013
The large genome size of many species hinders the development and application of genomic tools to study them. For instance, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), an ecologically and economically important… Expand
An expansion of rare lineage intestinal microbes characterizes rheumatoid arthritis
- J. Chen, Kerry A Wright, +6 authors V. Taneja
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome Medicine
- 21 April 2016
BackgroundThe adaptive immune response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is influenced by an interaction between host genetics and environment, particularly the host microbiome. Association of the gut… Expand
Evaluation of the pathogenesis and treatment of Mycobacterium marinum infection in zebrafish
- Kevin K. Takaki, J. Davis, K. Winglee, L. Ramakrishnan
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Protocols
- 1 June 2013
Mycobacterium marinum–infected zebrafish are used to study tuberculosis pathogenesis, as well as for antitubercular drug discovery. The small size of zebrafish larvae coupled with their optical… Expand
Sequence of the Sugar Pine Megagenome
- K. Stevens, J. Wegrzyn, +20 authors C. Langley
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 28 October 2016
Until very recently, complete characterization of the megagenomes of conifers has remained elusive. The diploid genome of sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana Dougl.) has a highly repetitive, 31 billion bp… Expand
Pathogen challenge, salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid regulate expression of chitinase gene homologs in pine.
- J. Davis, H. Wu, J. Cooke, Jon M. Reed, K. Luce, C. Michler
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular plant-microbe interactions : MPMI
- 1 April 2002
To better understand the molecular regulation of defense responses in members of the genus Pinus, we tested the expression of various chitinase homologs in response to pathogen-associated signals.… Expand
Association Mapping of Quantitative Disease Resistance in a Natural Population of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.)
- Tania Quesada, V. Gopal, +7 authors J. Davis
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 1 October 2010
Genetic resistance to disease incited by necrotrophic pathogens is not well understood in plants. Whereas resistance is often quantitative, there is limited information on the genes that underpin… Expand
A High-Density Gene Map of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Based on Exome Sequence Capture Genotyping
- Leandro G Neves, J. Davis, W. Barbazuk, M. Kirst
- Biology, Medicine
- G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics
- 5 November 2013
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is an economically and ecologically important conifer for which a suite of genomic resources is being generated. Despite recent attempts to sequence the large genome of… Expand
Phylogeny of ambrosia beetle symbionts in the genus Raffaelea.
- T. Dreaden, J. Davis, +4 authors J. Smith
- Biology, Medicine
- Fungal biology
- 1 December 2014
The genus Raffaelea was established in 1965 when the type species, Raffaelea ambrosia, a symbiont of Platypus ambrosia beetles was described. Since then, many additional ambrosia beetle symbionts… Expand
