In order to successfully colonize the host plant, plant pathogens employ various strategies to interfere with the plant immune system. Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins serve as intracellular immune receptors and are a major component of the plant immune system. As resistance genes against plant diseases, NLRs recognize effector proteins secreted by different pathogens and trigger hypersensitive reactions leading to cell death.

Obtaining sufficient genetic material from a limited biological source is currently the primary operational bottleneck in studies investigating biodiversity and genome evolution. In this study, we employed multiple displacement amplification (MDA) and Smartseq2 to amplify nanograms of genomic DNA and mRNA, respectively from individual Caenorhabditis elegans.

Coilin is an intriguing protein that is present in most multicellular eukaryotes. Even after decades of research, the full range of coilin’s functions and modes of action are not fully understood. Coilin is best known as an essential structural constituent and prominent marker of Cajal bodies (CBs). CBs are nonmembranous nuclear organelles that are typically situated adjacent to the nucleolus, a second membrane-free nuclear organelle that also contains detectable amounts of coilin.
