ABSTRACT
An EMS-based forward genetic screen was conducted in an apoptotic null background to identify genetic aberrations that contribute to regulation of cell growth in Drosophila melanogaster . The current work maps the genomic location of one of the identified mutants, L.3.2 . Genetic crosses conducted through the Fly-CURE consortium determined that the gene locus for the L.3.2 mutation is p47 on chromosome 2R.
ABSTRACT
Microbacteriophages Zada and Ioannes were isolated from soil and characterized. Genomes were then sequenced and annotated. This was done using the host bacterium Microbacterium foliorum Zada and Ioannes are both lytic phages with a Siphoviridae morphotype.
ABSTRACT
Mycobacteriophages Darionha, Salz, and ThreeRngTarjay are mycobacteriophages isolated using the host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. Following isolation from soil samples, all three siphoviridae phages were characterized, and their genomes were sequenced and annotated.
