BACKGROUND: Genomic prediction (GP) based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) has become a broadly used tool to increase the gain of selection in plant breeding. However, using predictors that are biologically closer to the phenotypes such as transcriptome and metabolome may...
We use untargeted metabolomics to investigate the immediate phytochemical effects of autopolyploidy on our model system, the greater duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza, a small aquatic macrophyte from the family Lemnaceae. We compare metabolite abundances in four genetically distinct diploid-a...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health threat, aggravated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains. This study aims to identify genes and metabolic pathways with increased vulnerability in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains compared to their drug-susceptible counterparts. Usin...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified thousands of genetic loci associated with complex plant traits, including many traits of agronomical importance. However, functional interpretation of GWAS results remains challenging because of large candidate regions due to linkage disequilibriu...
