Both chronic and acute dermal wounds are susceptible to infection due to sterile loss of the
innate barrier function of the skin and dermal appendages, facilitating the development of …

Using next-generation sequencing technologies it is possible to resequence entire plant
genomes or sample entire transcriptomes more efficiently and economically and in greater …

Background The investigation of plant genome structure and evolution requires
comprehensive characterization of repetitive sequences that make up the majority of higher …

We used a novel approach that incorporated chromosome sorting, next-generation
sequencing, array hybridization, and systematic exploitation of conserved synteny with …
