The rapid global re‐emergence of Fusarium head blight disease of wheat and barley in the
last decade along with contamination of grains with mycotoxins attributable to the disease …

We sequenced and annotated the genome of the filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum,
a major pathogen of cultivated cereals. Very few repetitive sequences were detected, and …

Background A recently developed probe-based technology, the NanoString nCounter™
gene expression system, has been shown to allow accurate mRNA transcript quantification …

Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab, is a destructive disease of small grains caused by
members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex, comprised of at least nine distinct, …

BACKGROUND The use of cytology specimens for next‐generation sequencing (NGS) is
particularly challenging because of the unconventional substrate of smears and the often …

Targeted gene replacement is one of the primary strategies for functional characterization of
fungal genes and several methods have been developed for this purpose over the years. …

Application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to routine clinical practice has
enabled characterization of personalized cancer genomes to identify patients likely to have …

Objectives: Clinical laboratories are rapidly implementing next-generation sequencing (NGS)
tests for mutation analysis, but there are few guidelines regarding sample quality for …

Sclerotinia stem rot is an economically important disease of canola (Brassica napus) and is
caused by the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. This study evaluated the differential …

Purpose: We used a clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS) hotspot mutation panel to
investigate clonal evolution in paired primary and metastatic tumors. Experimental Design: A …
