Comparative genomics of mutualistic viruses of Glyptapantelesparasitic wasps (2008)

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fadrosh, Douglas W, Fuester, Roger W, ...

Abstract Background Polydnaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, have evolved as obligate endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Structure and evolution of a proviral locus of Glyptapanteles indiensisbracovirus (2007)

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fuester, Roger W, Schatz, Michael C, ...

Abstract Background Bracoviruses (BVs), a group of double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, are mutualistic endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Complete plastid genome sequence of Daucus carota: Implications for biotechnology and phylogeny of angiosperms (2006)

Ruhlman, Tracey, Lee, Seung-Bum, Jansen, Robert K, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Town, Christopher D, ...

Abstract Background Carrot ( Daucus carota ) is a major food crop in the US and worldwide. Its capacity for storage and its lifecycle as a biennial make it an attractive species for the introduction...

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Gossypium hirsutum: organization and phylogenetic relationships to other angiosperms (2006)

Lee, Seung-Bum, Kaittanis, Charalambos, Jansen, Robert K, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Town, Christopher D, ...

Abstract Background Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ) is the most important fiber crop grown in 90 countries. In 2004–2005, US farmers planted 79% of the 5.7-million hectares of nuclear transgenic...

Comparative genomics of mutualistic viruses of Glyptapanteles parasitic wasps

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fadrosh, Douglas W, Fuester, Roger W, ...

Comparative genome analysis of two endosymbiotic polydnaviruses from Glyptapanteles parasitic wasps reveals new insights into the evolutionary arms race between host and parasite.

The Complete Genome of Teredinibacter turnerae T7901: An Intracellular Endosymbiont of Marine Wood-Boring Bivalves (Shipworms)

Yang, Joyce C., Madupu, Ramana, Durkin, A. Scott, Ekborg, Nathan A., Pedamallu, Chandra S., Hostetler, Jessica B., ...

Here we report the complete genome sequence of Teredinibacter turnerae T7901. T. turnerae is a marine gamma proteobacterium that occurs as an intracellular endosymbiont in the gills of wood-boring...
