Immune evasion is a hallmark of cancer. Losing the ability to present neoantigens through human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss may facilitate immune evasion. However, polymorphic nature locus has precluded accurate HLA copy-number analysis. Here, we heterozygosity in (LOHHLA), computational tool determine allele-specific copy number from sequencing data. Using LOHHLA, find that LOH occurs 40% non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) and associated with high subclonal neoantigen burden,...
Fungal isolates from chilli ( Capsicum spp.) fruits in Thailand that showed typical anthracnose symptoms were identified as Colletotrichum acutatum , C . capsici and gloeosporioides Phylogenetic analyses DNA sequence data of ITS rDNA β‐tubulin tub 2) gene regions revealed three major clusters representing these species. Among the morphological characters examined, colony growth rate conidium shape culture directly correlated with phylogenetic groupings. Comparison mango strawberry host was...
Many fungi are pathogenic on plants and cause significant damage in agriculture forestry. They also part of the natural ecosystem may play a role regulating plant numbers/density. Morphological identification analysis fungi, while important, is often hampered by scarcity discriminatory taxonomic characters endophytic or inconspicuous nature these fungi. Molecular (DNA sequence) data for have emerged as key information diagnostic classification studies, although non-standard laboratory...
Novel species of fungi described in the present study include following from Australia: Vermiculariopsiella eucalypti, Mulderomyces natalis (incl. gen. nov.), Fusicladium paraamoenum, Neotrimmatostroma paraexcentricum, and Pseudophloeospora eucalyptorum on leaves Eucalyptus spp., Anungitea grevilleae (on Grevillea sp.), Pyrenochaeta acaciae Acacia Brunneocarpos banksiae nov.) cones Banksia attenuata. foliicolous taxa South Africa Neosulcatispora strelitziae Strelitzia nicolai),...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia : Banksiophoma australiensis (incl. gen. nov.) on Banksia coccinea , Davidiellomyces Cyperaceae Didymocyrtis banksiae sessilis var . cygnorum Disculoides calophyllae Corymbia calophylla Harknessia banksiae-repens repens banksiigena communis Podocarpus sp., platyphyllae Eucalyptus platyphylla Myrtacremonium eucalypti globulus Myrtapenidiella balenae eucalyptigena pleurocarpae pleurocarpa...
This paper represents the third contribution in Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi (GOPHY) series. The series provides morphological descriptions, information about pathology, distribution, hosts and disease symptoms for treated genera, as well primary secondary DNA barcodes currently accepted species included these. GOPHY treats 21 genera phytopathogenic fungi their relatives including: Allophoma , Alternaria Brunneosphaerella Elsinoe Exserohilum Neosetophoma Neostagonospora Nothophoma...
Anthracnose of chili (Capsicum spp.) causes major production losses throughout Asia where plants are grown. A total 260 Colletotrichum isolates, associated with necrotic lesions leaves and fruit were collected from producing areas Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand Taiwan. truncatum was the most commonly isolated species infected readily identified by its falcate spores abundant setae in lesions. The other isolates consisted straight conidia (cylindrical fusiform) which difficult to...
Novel species of fungi described in the present study include following from Australia: Neoseptorioides eucalypti gen. & sp. nov. Eucalyptus radiata leaves, Phytophthora gondwanensis soil, Diaporthe tulliensis rotted stem ends Theobroma cacao fruit, vawdreyi fruit rot Psidium guajava, Magnaporthiopsis agrostidis roots Agrostis stolonifera and Semifissispora natalis leaf litter. Furthermore, Neopestalotiopsis egyptiaca is Mangifera indica leaves (Egypt), Roussoella mexicana Coffea arabica...
This paper represents the second contribution in Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi (GOPHY) series. The series provides morphological descriptions and information regarding pathology, distribution, hosts disease symptoms for treated genera. In addition, primary secondary DNA barcodes currently accepted species are included. GOPHY treats 20 genera phytopathogenic fungi their relatives including: Allantophomopsiella, Apoharknessia, Cylindrocladiella, Diaporthe, Dichotomophthora, Gaeumannomyces,...
Seven new genera, 26 species, 10 combinations, two epitypes, one name, and 20 interesting host / or geographical records are introduced in this study. New genera are:
Phylogenetic relationships were determined for 45 Colletotrichum isolates causing anthracnose disease of chili in Queensland, Australia. Initial screening based on morphology, ITS and TUB 2 genes resulted a subset 21 being chosen further taxonomic study. Isolates the C. acutatum complex analysed using partial sequences six gene regions ( , GAPDH ACT CHS ‐1 HIS 3 ), C . gloeosporioides four ApMat GS ). analysis delineated species including siamense simmondsii queenslandicum truncatum new...
Species of eucalypts are commonly cultivated for solid wood and pulp products. The expansion commercially managed eucalypt plantations has chiefly been driven by their rapid growth suitability propagation across a very wide variety sites climatic conditions. Infection foliar fungal pathogens is resulting in increasingly negative impacts on commercial forest industries globally. To assist evaluating this threat, the present study provides global perspective eucalypts. We treat 110 different...
Colletotrichum spp. are important pathogens of citrus that cause dieback branches and postharvest disease. Globally, several species have been identified as causing anthracnose citrus. One hundred sixty-eight isolates were collected from symptoms on stems, leaves, fruit Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, State herbaria in Australia. australianum sp. nov., C. fructicola, gloeosporioides, karstii, siamense, theobromicola using multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based seven genomic loci (ITS,...
Inheritance of resistance to anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum capsici (Syd.) Butler & Bisby was studied in interspecific Capsicum populations derived from a cross between Thai elite cultivar annuum L.'Bangchang' and resistant line C. chinense Jacq.'PBC932′. The assessed measuring lesion area per fruit (LFA) on detached chili fruits, using laboratory-based injection inoculation. Nil symptoms resembling the parent 'PBC932' were also identified progeny F2 BC1 populations. Segregation (nil...
Microbiologic diagnosis of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in children is hindered by the less than optimal yield blood osteoarticular fluid cultures.All patients admitted to a pediatric unit for infections (OAI) between January 2001 February 2004 were enrolled this prospective study. Osteoarticular biopsy samples that negative conventional culture tested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with universal 16S ribosomal DNA primers.We 171 children. Culture was positive 64 cases (37.4%),...
