TL;DR: The importance of the barley reference sequence for breeding is demonstrated by inspecting the genomic partitioning of sequence variation in modern elite germplasm, highlighting regions vulnerable to genetic erosion.

TL;DR: Morex as discussed by the authors was constructed by the International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium (IBSC) using hierarchical shotgun sequencing, and the experimental and computational procedures to sequence and assemble more than 80,000 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones along the minimum tiling path of a genome-wide physical map, find and validate overlaps between adjacent BACs, and order and orient these BAC clusters along the seven barley chromosomes using positional information provided by dense genetic maps.

TL;DR: The most important proteins involved in base excision repair, namely glycosylase, AP lyases, AP endonucleases, polymerases, sliding clamps, flap endon nucleases, and ligases, will be discussed and compared with bacterial and eukaryotic ones.

TL;DR: Various dietary bioactive compounds that target different stages of adipocyte life cycle and molecular and metabolic pathways are reviewed and new perspectives in fat biology suggest that the conversion of white‐to‐brown adipocytes and their metabolism could be exploited for the development of therapeutic approaches against obesity‐associated diseases and for the regulation of energy balance.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that CA- and HA-MRSA isolates can be distinguished by 2 distinct extracellular protein abundance clusters that are predictive not only for epidemiologic behavior, but also for their growth and survival within epithelial cells.
