Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with
reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members …

Transcription factor (TF) DNA sequence preferences direct their regulatory activity, but are
currently known for only∼ 1% of eukaryotic TFs. Broadly sampling DNA-binding domain …

Taxonomic names are key links between various databases that store information on
different organisms. Several global fungal nomenclural and taxonomic databases (notably …

The parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for hundreds of millions of cases of
malaria, and kills more than one million African children annually. Here we report an …

A vast number of plant pathogens from viroids of a few hundred nucleotides to higher plants
cause diseases in our crops. Their effects range from mild symptoms to catastrophes in …

Plant diseases can drastically abate the crop yields as the degree of disease outbreak is
getting severe around the world. Therefore, plant disease management has always been …

This new edition of the universally acclaimed and widely-used textbook on fungal biology
has been completely re-written, drawing directly on the authors' research and teaching …

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) modify core histones and participate in large regulatory
complexes that both suppress and enhance transcription. Recent studies indicate that some …

Most current models of sequence evolution assume that all sites of a protein evolve under
the same substitution process, characterized by a 20× 20 substitution matrix. Here, we …
