The standard PCR technique allows the rapid detection of microorganisms, difficult to detect by traditional culture methods. However, the control of samples through PCR has the drawback of false positives due to amplification ...

Candida subhashii belongs to the CUG-Ser clade, a group of phylogenetically closely related yeast species that includes some human opportunistic pathogens, such as Candida albicans. Despite being present in the environment, ...

Infections caused by opportunistic yeast pathogens have increased over the last years. These infections can be originated by a large number of diverse yeast species of varying incidence, and with distinct clinically relevant ...

Genomics data is transforming medicine and our understanding of life in fundamental ways; however, it is far outpacing Moore's Law. Third-generation sequencing technologies produce 100X longer reads than second generation ...

Background Olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea, Oleaceae) has been the most emblematic perennial crop for Mediterranean countries since its domestication around 6000 years ago in the Levant. Two taxonomic varieties ...

Substantial technological advancements in next generation sequencing (NGS) have revolutionized the genomic field. Over the last years, the speed and throughput of NGS technologies have increased while their costs have ...
