    Comparative genome sequencing for discovery of novel polymorphisms in Bacillus anthracis (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-05-11
    Description: Comparison of the whole-genome sequence of Bacillus anthracis isolated from a victim of a recent bioterrorist anthrax attack with a reference reveals 60 new markers that include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), inserted or deleted sequences, and tandem repeats. Genome comparison detected four high-quality SNPs between the two sequenced B. anthracis chromosomes and seven differences among different preparations of the reference genome. These markers have been tested on a collection of anthrax isolates and were found to divide these samples into distinct families. These results demonstrate that genome-based analysis of microbial pathogens will provide a powerful new tool for investigation of infectious disease outbreaks.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Read, Timothy D -- Salzberg, Steven L -- Pop, Mihai -- Shumway, Martin -- Umayam, Lowell -- Jiang, Lingxia -- Holtzapple, Erik -- Busch, Joseph D -- Smith, Kimothy L -- Schupp, James M -- Solomon, Daniel -- Keim, Paul -- Fraser, Claire M -- R01-LM06845/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jun 14;296(5575):2028-33.

    Disentangling genetic variation for resistance and tolerance to infectious diseases in animals (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-11-03
    Description: Hosts can in principle employ two different strategies to defend themselves against parasites: resistance and tolerance. Animals typically exhibit considerable genetic variation for resistance (the ability to limit parasite burden). However, little is known about whether animals can evolve tolerance (the ability to limit the damage caused by a given parasite burden). Using rodent malaria in laboratory mice as a model system and the statistical framework developed by plant-pathogen biologists, we demonstrated genetic variation for tolerance, as measured by the extent to which anemia and weight loss increased with increasing parasite burden. Moreover, resistance and tolerance were negatively genetically correlated. These results mean that animals, like plants, can evolve two conceptually different types of defense, a finding that has important implications for the understanding of the epidemiology and evolution of infectious diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Raberg, Lars -- Sim, Derek -- Read, Andrew F -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Nov 2;318(5851):812-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Institute of Immunology and Infection Research, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, UK. lars.raberg@zooekol.lu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17975068" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
