Development of SNP Panels from Low-Coverage Whole Genome Sequencing (lcWGS) to Support Indigenous Fisheries for Three Salmonid Species in Northern Canada

Author(s): Beemelmanns A; Bouchard R; Michaelides S; Normandeau E; Jeon HB; Chamlian B; Babin C; Hénault P; Perrot O; Harris LN; Zhu X; Fraser D; Bernatchez L; Moore JS;

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels are powerful tools for assessing the genetic population structure and dispersal of fishes and can enhance management practices for commercial, recreational and subsistence mixed-stock fisheries. Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus), Brook Trout (Salvelinus ...

Genome and secretome insights: unravelling the lignocellulolytic potential of Myceliophthora verrucosa for enhanced hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass

Author(s): Sharma G; Kaur B; Singh V; Raheja Y; Falco MD; Tsang A; Chadha BS;

Lignocellulolytic enzymes from a novel Myceliophthora verrucosa (5DR) strain was found to potentiate the efficacy of benchmark cellulase during saccharification of acid/alkali treated bagasse by ~ 2.24 fold, indicating it to be an important source of auxiliary enzymes. The De-novo sequencing and analysis of M. verrucosa genome (31.7 Mb) revealed to encode ...

Community-led risk analysis of direct-to-consumer whole-genome sequencing

Author(s): Samlali K; Thornbury M; Venter A;

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is cheaper and more accessible than ever before. What is generally hidden from the consumer is the intention to combine, reuse, and resell this genetic information as powerful datasets. This financial gain is creating a competitive DTC market, reducing the price of whole genome sequencing (WGS) down to USD 299. Ent ...

Neutral and adaptive drivers of genomic change in introduced brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations revealed by pooled sequencing

Author(s): Brookes B; Jeon HB; Derry AM; Post JR; Rogers SM; Humphries S; Fraser DJ;

Understanding the drivers of successful species invasions is important for conserving native biodiversity and for mitigating the economic impacts of introduced species. However, whole-genome resolution investigations of the underlying contributions of neutral and adaptive genetic variation in successful introductions are rare. Increased propagule pressure ...

Genetic Characterization of Mutations Related to Conidiophore Stalk Length Development in Aspergillus niger Laboratory Strain N402

Author(s): Demirci E; Arentshorst M; Yilmaz B; Swinkels A; Reid ID; Visser J; Tsang A; Ram AFJ;

Aspergillus niger is an important filamentous fungus in industrial biotechnology for the production of citric acid and enzymes. In the late 1980s, the A. niger N400/NRRL3 strain was selected for both fundamental and applied studies in relation to several processes including gluconic acid and protein production. To facilitate handling of A. niger, the N400 ...

Genome Sequence Resource of Bacillus velezensis EB14, a native endophytic bacterial strain with biocontrol potential against the poplar stem canker causative pathogen, Sphaerulina musiva.

Author(s): Naik S, Tsang A, Ramanan US, Dayanandan S

Bacillus velezensis EB14, isolated from a leaf of Populus ? jackii, possesses antagonistic activity against Sphaerulina musiva, a fungal pathogen of Populus sp. that causes leaf spots and stem cankers on Poplars limiting the utility of hybrid poplars as plantation trees. We sequenced the genome of B. velezensis EB14 to gain insights into the underlying ba ...
