Journal ArticleDOI
Pilon: An Integrated Tool for Comprehensive Microbial Variant Detection and Genome Assembly Improvement
Bruce J. Walker,Thomas Abeel,Terrance Shea,Margaret Priest,Amr Abouelliel,Sharadha Sakthikumar,Christina A. Cuomo,Qiandong Zeng,Jennifer R. Wortman,Sarah Young,Ashlee M. Earl +10 more
TL;DR: Pilon is a fully automated, all-in-one tool for correcting draft assemblies and calling sequence variants of multiple sizes, including very large insertions and deletions, which is being used to improve the assemblies of thousands of new genomes and to identify variants from thousands of clinically relevant bacterial strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The aspergilli comprise a diverse group of filamentous fungi spanning over 200 million years of evolution, and a comparative study with Aspergillus fumigatus and As pergillus oryzae, used in the production of sake, miso and soy sauce, provides new insight into eukaryotic genome evolution and gene regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Candida auris on 3 Continents Confirmed by Whole-Genome Sequencing and Epidemiological Analyses

TL;DR: Candida auris is an emerging healthcare-associated pathogen associated with high mortality, and WGS analysis suggests nearly simultaneous, and recent, independent emergence of different clonal populations on 3 continents.
