Roseline Assiah Yao et al.
As the interface between the fungal cell and its surroundings, the fungal cell wall (FCW) plays an essential physiological role in a myriad of biological processes. It provides support, protection, and enables material exchange with the env...
New genes on the block: additional open reading frames in the genomes of geminiviruses [0.03%]
基因新秀：弹状病毒基因组中的附加开放阅读框

Huang Tan et al.
In their DNA genomes, the devastating plant-infecting geminiviruses contain partially overlapping genes which encode multifunctional proteins. For decades, geminiviral genomes were believed to contain four to eight open-reading frames (ORFs...
