TL;DR: Describing root microbial communities of two disparate agricultural crops grown in the same natural soil in a controlled and replicated experimental system identifies a core set of functional genes associated with root colonization in both plant hosts and reveals that most genes enriched in the root zones are expressed.

TL;DR: The findings reveal many effects of TEs on these two transcriptomes, which are substantially greater in human than in mouse, which is due to the presence of Alu elements in human.

TL;DR: Putative virulence factors in P. expansum were identified by means of a transcriptomic analysis of apple fruits during the course of infection and it was demonstrated that neither patulin nor citrinin are required by P. expandum to successfully infect apples.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the impact of transposed elements (TEs) on the human transcriptome and the mouse transcriptome, finding that 60% of TEs in both human and mouse are located in intronic sequences, even though introns comprise only 24% of the human genome.

TL;DR: In samples collected from commercial cultivars across Israel, a single virus was found that caused the disease and the complete genome sequence of the new Israeli tobamovirus showed high sequence identity to the Jordanian isolate of tomato brown rugose fruit virus.
