  • Chromium sequencing : the doors open for genomics of obligate plant pathogens 
    McTaggart, Alistair R.; Duong, Tuan A.; Le, Vang Quy; Shuey, Louise S.; Smidt, Werner; Naidoo, Sanushka; Wingfield, Michael J.; Wingfield, Brenda D. (Future Medicine, 2018-11)
    It is challenging to sequence and assemble genomes of obligate plant pathogens and microorganisms because of limited amounts of DNA, comparatively large genomes and high numbers of repeat regions. We sequenced the 1.2 ...
  • The pandemic strain of Austropuccinia psidii causes myrtle rust in New Zealand and Singapore 
    Du Plessis, Erika Margarete; Granados, Ginna Marcela; Barnes, Irene; Ho, W.H.; Alexander, B.J.R.; Roux, Jolanda; McTaggart, Alistair R. (Springer, 2019-05)
    The myrtle rust pathogen, Austropuccinia psidii, was recently detected in New Zealand and Singapore. We used microsatellite markers to identify the strain of A. psidii that caused these incursions. Our results show that ...
  • Sexual reproduction in populations of Austropuccinia psidii 
    McTaggart, Alistair R.; Du Plessis, Esna; Roux, Jolanda; Barnes, Irene; Fraser, Stuart; Granados, Ginna Marcela; Ho, Wellcome W.H.; Shuey, Louise S.; Drenth, Andre (Springer, 2020-02)
    Austropuccinia psidii is a rust fungus that has expanded its known geographic distribution and host range on Myrtaceae. Invasions by rust fungi are often caused by asexual urediniospores that give rise to populations with ...
  • The synergistic effect of concatenation in phylogenomics : the case in Pantoea 
    Palmer, Marike; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas); McTaggart, Alistair R.; Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Van Wyk, Stephanie; Avontuur, Juanita R.; Beukes, Chrizelle Winsie; Fourie, Gerda; Santana, Quentin C.; Van der Nest, Magrieta Aletta; Blom, Jochen; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora (PeerJ, 2019-04)
    With the increased availability of genome sequences for bacteria, it has become routine practice to construct genome-based phylogenies. These phylogenies have formed the basis for various taxonomic decisions, especially ...
