CandidaDB: a genome database for Candida albicans pathogenomics.

2004

CandidaDB is accessible at http://genolist.pasteur.fr/CandidaDB.; International audience; CandidaDB is a database dedicated to the genome of the most prevalent systemic fungal pathogen of humans, Candida albicans. CandidaDB is based on an annotation of the Stanford Genome Technology Center C.albicans genome sequence data by the European Galar Fungail Consortium. CandidaDB Release 2.0 (June 2004) contains information pertaining to Assembly 19 of the genome of C.albicans strain SC5314. The current release contains 6244 annotated entries corresponding to 130 tRNA genes and 5917 protein-coding genes. For these, it provides tentative functional assignments along with numerous pre-run analyses th…

Genomic variation in tomato, from wild ancestors to contemporary breeding accessions

2015

[EN] Background: Domestication modifies the genomic variation of species. Quantifying this variation provides insights into the domestication process, facilitates the management of resources used by breeders and germplasm centers, and enables the design of experiments to associate traits with genes. We described and analyzed the genetic diversity of 1,008 tomato accessions including Solanum lycopersicum var. lycopersicum (SLL), S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme (SLC), and S. pimpinellifolium (SP) that were genotyped using 7,720 SNPs. Additionally, we explored the allelic frequency of six loci affecting fruit weight and shape to infer patterns of selection. Results: Our results revealed a pat…

La combinaison de cartographie de signatures de sélection, de re-séquençage de génomes et d'analyses d'expression révèle PARK2 et JAG2 comme nouveaux…

Very few causal genes have been identified by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping because of the large size ofQTLs, and most of them were identified thanks to functional links already known with the targeted phenotype.Here we propose to combine selection signature detection, SNP annotation, and expression analyses to identifycausal genes underlying QTLs. As a model, we chose experimental chicken lines divergently selected for onlyone trait, the abdominal fat weight, in which several QTLs were previously mapped. Using a new haplotypebasedstatistics exploiting the very high SNP density generated through whole genome re-sequencing, we found129 significant selective sweeps. Most of the QTLs …

Symbiosis-related plant genes modulate molecular responses in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus during early root interactions.

2009

To gain further insight into the role of the plant genome in arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) establishment, we investigated whether symbiosis-related plant genes affect fungal gene expression in germinating spores and at the appressoria stage of root interactions. Glomus intraradices genes were identified in expressed sequence tag libraries of mycorrhizal Medicago truncatula roots by in silico expression analyses. Transcripts of a subset of genes, with predicted functions in transcription, protein synthesis, primary or secondary metabolism, or of unknown function, were monitored in spores and germinating spores and during interactions with roots of wild-type or mycorrhiza-defective (Myc–) mutan…

Reinventing the Wheel and Making It Round Again: Evolutionary Convergence in Buchnera-Serratia Symbiotic Consortia between the Distantly Related Lach…

2016

International audience; Virtually all aphids (Aphididae) harbor Buchnera aphidicola as an obligate endosymbiont to compensate nutritional deficiencies arising from their phloem diet. Many species within the Lachninae subfamily seem to be consistently associated also with Serratia symbiotica We have previously shown that both Cinara (Cinara) cedri and Cinara (Cupressobium) tujafilina (Lachninae: Eulachnini tribe) have indeed established co-obligate associations with both Buchnera and S. symbiotica However, while Buchnera genomes of both Cinara species are similar, genome degradation differs greatly between the two S. symbiotica strains. To gain insight into the essentiality and degree of int…

Genome degeneration and adaptation in a nascent stage of symbiosis

2014

Symbiotic associations between animals and microbes are ubiquitous in nature, with an estimated 15% of all insect species harboring intracellular bacterial symbionts. Most bacterial symbionts share many genomic features including small genomes, nucleotide composition bias, high coding density, and a paucity of mobile DNA, consistent with long-term host association. In this study, we focus on the early stages of genome degeneration in a recently derived insect-bacterial mutualistic intracellular association. We present the complete genome sequence and annotation of Sitophilus oryzae primary endosymbiont (SOPE). We also present the finished genome sequence and annotation of strain HS, a close…

Genome sequence of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum

2010

The genome of the pea aphid shows remarkable levels of gene duplication and equally remarkable gene absences that shed light on aspects of aphid biology, most especially its symbiosis with Buchnera.

L'accumulation des protéines dans les graines de légumineuses

2017

The agroecological benefits of legumes and the renewed interest in the consumption of vegetable proteins stimulate researches on cognitive and applied aspects of seed biology aiming at optimizing protein composition of legume seeds. This article presents the state of knowledge on the genetic and environmental control of the accumulation of major proteins found in legume seeds, with a view to developing varieties with improved nutritional seed quality. It also shows how high-throughput genomics and post-genomics data, along with translational research aiming at transferring knowledge between model and crop species, can accelerate the identification of genes controlling the accumulation of st…
