Comparative Pathogenomics Reveals Horizontally Acquired Novel Virulence Genes in Fungi Infecting Cereal Hosts

Comparative analyses of pathogen genomes provide new insights into how pathogens have evolved common and divergent virulence strategies to invade related plant species. Fusarium crown and root rots are important diseases of wheat and barley world-wide. In Australia, these diseases are primarily caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum. Comparative genomic analyses showed that th...

Leptospiral Pathogenomics

Leptospirosis, caused by pathogenic spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira, is a zoonosis with important impacts on human and animal health worldwide. Research on the mechanisms of Leptospira pathogenesis has been hindered due to slow growth of infectious strains, poor transformability, and a paucity of genetic tools. As a result of second generation sequencing technologies, there has be...

Integration of Data in Pathogenomics: Three Layers of cellular complexity and an XML-based Framework

For efficient data integration of all data the XML based platform myBSMLStudio2003 is discussed and developed here. It integrates XQuery capabilities, automatic scripting updates for sequence annotation and a JESS expert system shell for functional annotation. In the context of genome annotation platforms in place (GenDB, PEDANT) these different tools and approaches presented here allow improve...
