The Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) Community is a research-driven group that establishing clear set of community-accepted data and metadata standards; standards-based reference implementation tools; policies practices for infrastructure to support the deposit, curation, storage, use high-throughput sequencing from B-cell T-cell receptor repertoires (AIRR-seq data). AIRR Data Commons distributed system repositories utilizes common model, query language, interoperability formats...
Summary Phytomyxea are intracellular biotrophic parasites infecting plants and stramenopiles, including the agriculturally impactful Plasmodiophora brassicae brown seaweed pathogen Maullinia ectocarpii . They belong to clade Rhizaria, where phagotrophy is main mode of nutrition. Phagocytosis a complex trait eukaryotes, well documented for free‐living unicellular eukaryotes specific cellular types animals. Data on phagocytosis in intracellular, scant. Phagocytosis, parts host cell consumed at...
Abstract Whole genome duplications (WGD) have had strong impacts on species diversification by triggering evolutionary novelties, however, relatively little is known about the balance between gene loss and forces involved in retention of duplicated genes originating from a WGD. We analyzed putative Salicoid duplicates willows, WGD, which took place more than 45 Mya. Contigs were constructed de novo assembly RNA-seq data derived leaves roots two genotypes. Among 48,508 contigs, 3,778 pairs...
Summary Phagocytosis is a complex multi-gene trait of eukaryotes and allegedly one the very defining features this group. Although well documented for free-living unicellular in specific cellular types animals, data on phagocytosis intracellular biotrophic parasites are scant. Indeed, definition biotrophy as complete reliance parasite living host, with which it constantly negotiates exchange nutrients, at odd consumption particulate matter suggested by phagocytosis. Phytomyxea infecting...
