Tobacco is an important cash crop and an ideal experimental system for studies of plant-pathogen interactions.Identification of tobacco resistance (R) genes and resistance gene analogs (RGAs) is propitious to elucidate the underlying resistant mechanisms.In recent years, the public tobacco EST (expressed sequence tags) data set, which provides a ri
On a global scale, there is consensus to double food production as a means to address food and nutrition insecurity, yet the capacity of available resources and technologies to gratify the demands of this growing population and the price of agricultural commodities remains uncertain in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Ethiopia.Despite the availa
Genome sequences provide information on the genetic elements present in an organism, and currently there are databases containing hundreds of thousands of bacterial genome sequences.These repositories allow for mining patterns concerning antibiotic resistance gene occurrence in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria in e.g.natural or animal en
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the leading forms of cancer related deaths in the United States.With limited treatment options and unreliable diagnostic methods, long-term survival rates following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer remain poor.Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) are precancerous lesions that precede progres
