Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most consumed and economically important vegetable crop in the world. Nutritionally, potato is ideal for human consumption and provides a balanced source of starch, high-quality proteins, ...
BACKGROUND : Application of whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables identification of non-coding variants that
play a phenotype-modifying role and are undetectable by exome sequencing. Recently, non-coding regulatory
single ...
AIMS : Distinguishing true oesophageal Candida infections from oral contaminants is a common diagnostic issue. Historically, histological features believed to indicate true infection included epithelial invasion by ...
