TL;DR: The chewBBACA suite was designed to assist users in the creation and evaluation of novel whole-genome or core- genome gene-by-gene typing schemas and subsequent allele calling in bacterial strains of interest.

TL;DR: Gene expression studies have revealed a very precocious activation of signalling pathways and production of putative effectors, suggesting that the plant-fungus dialogue starts as early as at the germ tube stage, and have provided clues for the identification of avr genes.

TL;DR: Following previous studies on this locus, sequence data from an expanded region is generated, revealing increased phylogenetic informativeness when compared to other commonly used markers such as ITS, β-tub2 and GS, and revealed that gene-tree discordance may come to be a common issue in resolving evolutionary relationships in the C. gloeosporioides complex.

TL;DR: In this article, the Apn2/MAT marker alone was almost as informative in terms of phylogenetic resolution as a seven-gene concatenated dataset, highlighting the importance of multilocus approaches.

TL;DR: Structure_threader is a program to parallelize multiple runs of genetic clustering software that does not make use of multithreading technology on multicore computers and was proven to be the faster (up to 25% faster) wrapper under all tested scenarios.
