Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytophthora Genome Sequences Uncover Evolutionary Origins and Mechanisms of Pathogenesis

Brett M. Tyler, +68 more
- 01 Sep 2006 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of the two species' genomes reveals a rapid expansion and diversification of many protein families associated with plant infection such as hydrolases, ABC transporters, protein toxins, proteinase inhibitors, and, in particular, a superfamily of 700 proteins with similarity to known oömycete avirulence genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncovering the essential genes of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum by saturation mutagenesis

TL;DR: Saturation-scale mutagenesis allows prioritization of intervention targets in the genome of the most important cause of malaria, and confirms the proteasome-degradation pathway is a high-value druggable target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signatures of adaptation to obligate biotrophy in the Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis genome

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis is reported, an obligate biotroph and natural pathogen of Arabidopsis thaliana, which exhibits dramatic reductions in genes encoding RXLR effectors, proteins associated with zoospore formation and motility, and enzymes for assimilation of inorganic nitrogen and sulfur.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome evolution following host jumps in the Irish potato famine pathogen lineage

TL;DR: A group of papers analyzes pathogen genomes to find the roots of virulence, opportunism, and life-style determinants, demonstrating that dynamic repeat-rich genome compartments underpin accelerated gene evolution following host jumps in this pathogen lineage.
