Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Clonostachys rosea (strain YKD0085). The functional annotation of C. rosea provides important information related to its ability to produce secondary metabolites. The genome sequence presented here builds the basis for further genome mining.

Sea-level rise and frequent intense hurricanes associated with climate change will result in recurrent flooding of inland systems such as Gulf Coastal pitcher plant bogs by storm surges. These surges can transport salt water and sediment to freshwater bogs, greatly affecting their biological integrity. Purple pitcher plants (Sarracenia rosea) are Gulf Coast pitcher plant bog inhabitants that co...

A well-designed, rigorously conducted randomized controlled trial is required before therapeutic claims for this product can be made. OBJECTIVE To compare the ...

BACKGROUND Macrolides are prescribed in the treatment of pityriasis rosea despite conflicting results of the limited number of studies evaluating their role in its treatment. AIM A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of azithromycin on the clinical course of pityriasis rosea. METHODS Seventy patients of pityriasis rosea were given either azi...
