TL;DR: The work presented here has led to a greatly improved ordering of the potato reference genome superscaffolds into chromosomal “pseudomolecules”.

TL;DR: In the recently sequenced Solanum tuberosum group phureja genome, a surprising ∼41% (179) of the 435 NBS-encoding genes are pseudogenes primarily caused by premature stop codons or frameshift mutations, and these genes are found in high density clusters on 11 chromosomes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a literature review of datasets reporting HLA frequencies of South American populations, available in scientific literature and/or in the Allele Frequency Net Database.

TL;DR: A set of T. solium polymorphic microsatellite markers that appear promising for genetic epidemiology studies are reported here, representing a significant step towards the understanding the biology of the parasite.

TL;DR: The availability of A. paragallinarum genome represents an important source of information for the development of diagnostic tests, genotyping, and novel antigens for potential vaccines against infectious coryza, contributing to better understanding the pathogenesis, and planning efforts for prevention and control of the disease.
