Journal ArticleDOI
Draft genome of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, a major forest pest
Christopher I. Keeling,Macaire M.S. Yuen,Nancy Y. Liao,Roderick T. Docking,Simon K. Chan,Greg Taylor,Diana L. Palmquist,Shaun D. Jackman,Anh Nguyen,Maria Li,Hannah Henderson,Jasmine K. Janes,Yongjun Zhao,Pawan Pandoh,Richard D. Moore,Felix A. H. Sperling,Dezene P. W. Huber,Inanc Birol,Steven J.M. Jones,Steven J.M. Jones,Joerg Bohlmann +20 more
TL;DR: A horizontally transferred bacterial sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase was evident in the genome, and its tissue-specific transcription suggests a functional role for this beetle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome and transcriptome analyses of the mountain pine beetle-fungal symbiont Grosmannia clavigera, a lodgepole pine pathogen
Scott DiGuistini,Ye Wang,Nancy Y. Liao,Greg Taylor,Philippe Tanguay,Nicolas Feau,Bernard Henrissat,Simon K. Chan,Uljana Hesse-Orce,Sepideh Massoumi Alamouti,Clement K. M. Tsui,Roderick T. Docking,Anthony Levasseur,Sajeet Haridas,Gordon Robertson,Inanc Birol,Robert A. Holt,Marco A. Marra,Richard C. Hamelin,Martin Hirst,Steven J.M. Jones,Jörg Bohlmann,Colette Breuil +22 more
TL;DR: It is established that Gc is heterothallic, and evidence for repeat-induced point mutation is reported, and insights are reported into how Gc tolerates conifer-defense chemicals, including oleoresin terpenoids, as they colonize a host tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo genome sequence assembly of a filamentous fungus using Sanger, 454 and Illumina sequence data.
Scott DiGuistini,Nancy Y. Liao,Darren Platt,Gordon Robertson,Michael Seidel,Simon K. Chan,Roderick T. Docking,Inanc Birol,Robert A. Holt,Martin Hirst,Elaine R. Mardis,Marco A. Marra,Richard C. Hamelin,Jörg Bohlmann,Colette Breuil,Steven J.M. Jones +15 more
TL;DR: A method for assembling draft genome sequences of eukaryotic organisms that integrates sequence information from different sources is reported, and its effectiveness is demonstrated by assembling an approximately 32.5 Mb draft genome sequence for the forest pathogen Grosmannia clavigera, an ascomycete fungus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome resources and functional characterization of monoterpene synthases for two host species of the mountain pine beetle, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana)
Dawn E. Hall,Macaire M.S. Yuen,Sharon Jancsik,Alfonso Lara Quesada,Harpreet K. Dullat,Maria Li,Hannah Henderson,Adriana Arango-Velez,Nancy Y. Liao,Roderick T. Docking,Simon K. Chan,Janice E. K. Cooke,Colette Breuil,Steven J.M. Jones,Christopher I. Keeling,Jörg Bohlmann +15 more
TL;DR: In the absence of genome sequences, transcriptome assemblies are important for defence gene discovery in lodgepole pine and jack pine, as demonstrated here for the terpenoid pathway genes.
