Worldwide, the cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is No. 1 vegetable crop and a critical food security crop. The genome sequence of DM1-3 516 R44, doubled monoploid clone S. Group Phureja, was published in 2011 using whole-genome shotgun sequencing approach with short-read data. Current advanced technologies now permit generation near-complete, high-quality chromosome-scale assemblies at minimal cost.Here, we present an updated version R44 (v6.1) Oxford Nanopore Technologies long reads...
Studying proteins through the lens of evolution can reveal conserved features, lineage-specific variants, and their potential functions. MolEvolvR (https://jravilab.org/molevolvr) is a novel web-app enabling researchers to visualize molecular interest in phylogenetic context across tree life, spanning all superkingdoms. The accepts multiple input formats — protein/domain sequences, homologous proteins, or domain scans and, using general-purpose computational workflow, returns detailed...
A fundamental requirement for life is the replication of an organism's DNA. Studies in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis have set paradigm DNA bacteria. During initiation E.

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a bacterial pathogen that causes listeriosis in immunocompromised individuals, particularly pregnant women. Several virulence factors support the intracellular lifecycle of Lm and facilitate cell-to-cell spread, allowing it to occupy multiple niches within host cross-protective barriers, including placenta. One family factors, internalins, contributes pathogenicity by inducing specific uptake conferring tissue tropism. Over 25 internalins have been identified...
