The Medicago genome provides insight into the evolution of rhizobial symbioses

Nevin D. Young, +138 more
- 22 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: The draft sequence of the M. truncatula genome sequence is described, a close relative of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), a widely cultivated crop with limited genomics tools and complex autotetraploid genetics, which provides significant opportunities to expand al falfa’s genomic toolbox.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of pathogenicity and sexual reproduction in eight Candida genomes.

TL;DR: There are significant expansions of cell wall, secreted and transporter gene families in pathogenic species, suggesting adaptations associated with virulence in Candida albicans species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgen receptor splice variants mediate enzalutamide resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer cell lines.

TL;DR: This study shows that cells with AR gene rearrangements expressing both full-length and AR-Vs are androgen independent and enzalutamide resistant, but selective knock-down of AR-V expression inhibited androgen-independent growth and restored responsiveness to androgens and antiandrogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small cysteine-rich peptides resembling antimicrobial peptides have been under-predicted in plants.

TL;DR: The identified genes include classes of defensins, thionins, lipid transfer proteins, and snakins, plus other protease inhibitors, pollen allergens, and uncharacterized gene families, and it is estimated that these classes of genes account for approximately 2-3% of the gene repertoire of each model species.
