TL;DR: Comparison of two phenotypically distinct strains reveals variation in gene content in addition to sequence polymorphisms between the genomes, and the genome is rich in transposons, many of which cluster at candidate centromeric regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of Immigration and Customs Enforcement on immigrant health: perceptions of immigrants in Everett, Massachusetts, USA.
Karen Hacker,Jocelyn Chu,Carolyn Leung,Robert E. Marra,Alex Pirie,Mohamed Brahimi,Margaret English,Joshua Beckmann,Dolores Acevedo-Garcia,Robert P. Marlin +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the impact of enhanced immigration enforcement on immigrant health in Everett, Massachusetts, USA, a city with a large and diverse immigrant population found high levels of stress due to deportation fear, which affected their emotional well-being and their access to health services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Sexual Recombination among Cryptococcus neoformans Serotype A Isolates in Sub-Saharan Africa
Anastasia P. Litvintseva,Robert E. Marra,Kirsten Nielsen,Joseph Heitman,Rytas Vilgalys,Thomas G. Mitchell +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a population of C. neoformans serotype A clinical isolates from Botswana contains an unprecedented proportion of fertile MATa isolates and exhibits evidence of both clonal expansion and recombination within two partially genetically isolated subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between genetic background and the mating-type locus in Cryptococcus neoformans virulence potential.
Kirsten Nielsen,Robert E. Marra,Ferry Hagen,Teun Boekhout,Thomas G. Mitchell,Gary M. Cox,Joseph Heitman +6 more
TL;DR: The congenic strains described here provide a foundation upon which to elucidate at genetic and molecular levels how mating-type and other unlinked loci interact to enable microbial pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The practical and scientific argument in support of a Fusarium that includes the FSSC and several other basal lineages is reasserted, consistent with the longstanding use of this name among plant pathologists, medical mycologists, quarantine officials, regulatory agencies, students and researchers with a stake in its taxonomy.
