Journal ArticleDOI
Phased diploid genome assembly with single-molecule real-time sequencing
Chen-Shan Chin,Paul Peluso,Fritz J. Sedlazeck,Maria Nattestad,Gregory T. Concepcion,Alicia Clum,Christopher Dunn,Ronan C. O'Malley,Rosa Figueroa-Balderas,Abraham Morales-Cruz,Grant R. Cramer,Massimo Delledonne,Chongyuan Luo,Joseph R. Ecker,Dario Cantu,David R. Rank,Michael C. Schatz,Michael C. Schatz +17 more
TL;DR: The open-source FALCON and FALcon-Unzip algorithms are introduced to assemble long-read sequencing data into highly accurate, contiguous, and correctly phased diploid genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The intersection between cell wall disassembly, ripening, and fruit susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea
Dario Cantu,Ariel Roberto Vicente,L. C. Greve,Frances M. Dewey,Alan B. Bennett,J. M. Labavitch,Ann L. T. Powell +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that altering endogenous plant CW disassembly during ripening influences the course of infection by B. cinerea, perhaps by changing the structure or the accessibility of CW substrates to pathogen CW-degrading enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Genome-Wide Association Study of Resistance to Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) in a Worldwide Collection of Hexaploid Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Marco Maccaferri,Junli Zhang,Peter Bulli,Zewdie Abate,Shiaoman Chao,Dario Cantu,Eligio Bossolini,Xianming Chen,Michael O. Pumphrey,Jorge Dubcovsky,Jorge Dubcovsky +10 more
TL;DR: This study provides an integrated view of stripe rust resistance resources in spring wheat and identifies new resistance loci that will be useful to diversify the current set of resistance genes deployed to control this devastating disease.

Phased Diploid Genome Assembly with Single Molecule Real-Time Sequencing
Chen-Shan Chin,Paul Peluso,Fritz J. Sedlazeck,Maria Nattestad,Gregory T. Concepcion,Alicia Clum,Christopher Dunn,Ronan C. O'Malley,Rosa Figueroa-Balderas,Abraham Morales-Cruz,Grant R. Cramer,Massimo Delledonne,Chongyuan Luo,Joseph R. Ecker,Dario Cantu,David R. Rank,Michael C. Schatz +16 more
TL;DR: The FALCON-based assemblies were substantially more contiguous and complete than alternate short or long-read approaches, and enabled the study of haplotype structures and heterozygosities between the homologous chromosomes, including identifying widespread heterozygous structural variations within the coding sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome analyses of the wheat yellow (stripe) rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici reveal polymorphic and haustorial expressed secreted proteins as candidate effectors
Dario Cantu,Vanesa Segovia,Dan MacLean,Rosemary Bayles,Xianming Chen,Xianming Chen,Sophien Kamoun,Jorge Dubcovsky,Jorge Dubcovsky,Jorge Dubcovsky,Diane G. O. Saunders,Cristobal Uauy,Cristobal Uauy +12 more
TL;DR: Integration of genomics, transcriptomics, and effector-directed annotation of PST isolates has enabled the development of a framework for mining effector proteins in closely related isolates and relate them to their distinct virulence profiles, which should ultimately lead to more comprehensive understanding of the PST pathogenesis system.
