Sherwood A, Chan Y, Presting G
Mol Ecol Resour . 2011 May; 8(5):1011-4. PMID: 21585957
To demonstrate the utility of universal plastid primers for probing of environmental samples, we extracted DNA from a tropical stream periphyton community and created two environmental clone libraries. We demonstrate...

Schneider K, Marrero G, Alvarez A, Presting G
PLoS One . 2011 May; 6(4):e18496. PMID: 21533033
A DNA marker that distinguishes plant associated bacteria at the species level and below was derived by comparing six sequenced genomes of Xanthomonas, a genus that contains many important phytopathogens....

Birchler J, Gao Z, Sharma A, Presting G, Han F
Curr Opin Plant Biol . 2011 Mar; 14(2):217-22. PMID: 21411364
Centromeres were once thought to be boring structures on the chromosome involved with transmission through mitosis and meiosis. Recent data from a wide spectrum of organisms reveal an epigenetic component...

Gent J, Schneider K, Topp C, Rodriguez C, Presting G, Dawe R
Epigenetics Chromatin . 2011 Mar; 4:3. PMID: 21352520
Background: Unique structural characteristics of centromere chromatin enable it to support assembly of the kinetochore and its associated tensions. The histone H3 variant CENH3 (centromeric histone H3) is viewed as...

Sherwood A, Kurihara A, Conklin K, Sauvage T, Presting G
BMC Plant Biol . 2010 Nov; 10:258. PMID: 21092229
Background: The Hawaiian red algal flora is diverse, isolated, and well studied from a morphological and anatomical perspective, making it an excellent candidate for assessment using a combination of traditional...

Shi J, Wolf S, Burke J, Presting G, Ross-Ibarra J, Dawe R
PLoS Biol . 2010 Mar; 8(3):e1000327. PMID: 20231874
Centromeres are the most dynamic regions of the genome, yet they are typified by little or no crossing over, making it difficult to explain the origin of this diversity. To...

Wolfgruber T, Presting G
BMC Bioinformatics . 2010 Jan; 11:23. PMID: 20067643
Background: Repeat-rich regions such as centromeres receive less attention than their gene-rich euchromatic counterparts because the former are difficult to assemble and analyze. Our objectives were to 1) map all...

Schnable P, Ware D, Fulton R, Stein J, Wei F, Pasternak S, et al.
Science . 2009 Dec; 326(5956):1112-5. PMID: 19965430
We report an improved draft nucleotide sequence of the 2.3-gigabase genome of maize, an important crop plant and model for biological research. Over 32,000 genes were predicted, of which 99.8%...

Wolfgruber T, Sharma A, Schneider K, Albert P, Koo D, Shi J, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2009 Dec; 5(11):e1000743. PMID: 19956743
We describe a comprehensive and general approach for mapping centromeres and present a detailed characterization of two maize centromeres. Centromeres are difficult to map and analyze because they consist primarily...

Wang N, Sherwood A, Kurihara A, Conklin K, Sauvage T, Presting G
BMC Plant Biol . 2009 Sep; 9:117. PMID: 19728892
Background: Organization and presentation of biodiversity data is greatly facilitated by databases that are specially designed to allow easy data entry and organized data display. Such databases also have the...
