Transcriptome profiling reveals differential expression of virulence genes in Xylella fastidiosa under nutrient-rich and xylem-like conditions

This study compares transcriptomes of Xylella fastidiosa under nutrient-rich and xylem-like conditions, identifying differential gene expression and regulatory divergence between strains.

Cryo-EM structure analysis of phage {Phi}Xacm4-11 that infects the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri

This paper presents the structural and functional analysis of {Phi}Xacm4-11, a phage infecting Xanthomonas citri, revealing its architecture and host recognition mechanisms.

vHULK, a new tool for bacteriophage host prediction based on annotated genomic features and deep neural networks

vHULK predicts bacteriophage hosts using genomic features and deep neural networks, achieving high accuracy in genus and species-level classifications.

Comparative genomics of Xylella fastidiosa suggests determinants of host-specificity and expands its mobile genetic elements repertoire

This paper compares 94 Xylella fastidiosa genomes to identify host-specificity determinants and expand knowledge of its mobile genetic elements, particularly prophages.
