BIGFIRST: A SOFTWARE PROGRAM USING BIG DATA TECHNIQUE FOR MINING SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS FROM LARGE-SCALE SEQUENCING DATA

BigFiRSt: A Software Program Using Big Data Technique for Mining Simple Sequence Repeats From Large-Scale Sequencing Data

BackgroundSimple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are short tandem repeats of nucleotide sequences.It has been shown that SSRs are associated with human diseases and are of medical relevance.Accordingly, a variety of computational methods have been proposed to mine SSRs from genomes.Conventional methods rely on a high-quality complete genome to identify SSR

Assessing the risk of ASFV entry into Japan through pork products illegally brought in by air passengers from China and fed to pigs in Japan.

A risk assessment was conducted to assess the risk of ASFV entry into Japan through pork products illegally brought in by air passengers from China and fed to pigs in Japan.Scenario tree modelling was used with the following entry and exposure pathway considered to be the most likely route of ASF entry: an ASFV infected pork product is illegally br

Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal two new Alternaria species (Pleosporales, Pleosporaceae) in Alternaria section from Cucurbitaceae plants in China

Alternaria species are commonly found as saprophytes, endophytes and plant pathogens.During a survey of small-spored Alternaria in China, two new species were discovered from Cucurbitaceae plants collected in Hubei and Sichuan provinces.This study identified two new species of Alternaria using seven genes (ITS, GAPDH, TEF1, RPB2, Alt a 1, EndoPG, a
