Mechanisms of intron gain and loss in Cryptococcus (2008)

Sharpton, Thomas J, Neafsey, Daniel E, Galagan, James E, Taylor, John W

Abstract Background Genome comparisons across deep phylogenetic divergences have revealed that spliceosomal intron gain and loss are common evolutionary events. However, because of the deep...

Leveraging the Knowledge of Our Peers: Online Communities Hold the Promise to Enhance Scientific Research (2006)

Thomas J. Sharpton, Arpan A. Jhaveri

SIPHS is a tool that leverages scientific resources online in a different fashion: rather than searching for online documents, users search for community members with a particular knowledge set.

Mechanisms of intron gain and loss in Cryptococcus

Sharpton, Thomas J, Neafsey, Daniel E, Galagan, James E, Taylor, John W

Comparison of five relatively closely related yeast Cryptococcus genomes suggests that recombination causes internal intron loss and that DNA repeat expansion can create new introns in a population.

Comparative genomic analyses of the human fungal pathogens Coccidioides and their relatives

Sharpton, Thomas J., Stajich, Jason E., Rounsley, Steven D., Gardner, Malcolm J., Wortman, Jennifer R., Jordar, Vinita S., ...

While most Ascomycetes tend to associate principally with plants, the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii are primary pathogens of immunocompetent mammals, including...
