Since then the taxonomy of bacteria has been revolutionized several times. At present, 30 phyla belong to the domain “Bacteria”, which includes over 9600 species. Unlike many eukaryotes, bacteria lack complex morphological characters and practically phylogenetically informative fossils. It is partly due to these reasons that bacterial taxonomy is complicated.

  • Gall-ID: Tools for Genotyping Gall-Causing Phytopathogenic Bacteria
    Gall-ID: tools for genotyping gall-causing phytopathogenic bacteria Edward W. Davis II1,2,*, Alexandra J. Weisberg1,*, Javier F. Tabima1, Niklaus J. Grunwald1,2,3,4 and Jeff H. Chang1,2,3 1 Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, United States 2 Molecular and Cellular Biology Program, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, United States 3 Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, United States 4 Horticultural Crops Research Laboratory, USDA-ARS, Corvallis, OR, United States * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Understanding the population structure and genetic diversity of plant pathogens, as well as the effect of agricultural practices on pathogen evolution, is important for disease management. Developments in molecular methods have contributed to increase the resolution for accurate pathogen identification, but those based on analysis of DNA sequences can be less straightforward to use. To address this, we developed Gall-ID, a web-based platform that uses DNA sequence information from 16S rDNA, multilocus sequence analysis and whole genome sequences to group disease-associated bacteria to their taxonomic units. Gall-ID was developed with a particular focus on gall-forming bacteria belonging to Agrobacterium, Pseudomonas savastanoi, Pantoea agglomerans, and Rhodococcus. Members of these groups of bacteria cause growth deformation of plants, and some are capable of infecting many species of field, orchard, and nursery crops. Gall-ID also enables the use of high-throughput sequencing reads to search for evidence for homologs of characterized virulence genes, and provides downloadable software pipelines for automating multilocus sequence analysis, analyzing genome sequences for average nucleotide identity, and constructing core genome phylogenies.

  • Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler
    Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler I was conceived by Carla Bley and Michael Mantler at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1965. Born in 1966, I was immediately swept into the musician's life on the road. After having checked me at the coatroom of the Berlin Jazz Festival, to the horror of the press, my parents realized that I was going to have to learn to play an instrument in order to be useful. But since I was still just a baby and they couldn't leave me alone, they had to bring me on stage with them and keep me under the piano. This is probably why I feel most at home on the stage. In 1971, when I was four, my mother let me have a part in Escalator Over The Hill and the next year I sang on another of her records, Tropic Appetites. By 1977 I had learned to play the glockenspiel, and I joined the Carla Bley Band. I toured Europe and the States with her several times and played on her Musique Mecanique album. After playing at Carnegie Hall in 1980, where I tried to steal the show by pretending to be Carla Bley, my mother fired me, telling me "get your own band". I realized that I was going to have to learn a more complicated instrument. After trying drums, bass, and flute, which I always lost interest in, I settled on the clarinet. I joined my elementary school band and quickly rose to the head of the clarinet section. The band director let me take the first improvised solo in the history of the Phoenicia (a small town near Woodstock, NY) elementary school.

  • Mr Lonely by Richard Strange
    Mr Lonely by Richard Strange As we boarded the flight from London to Inverness, it seemed perhaps the filming of Harmony Korine’s new film, “Mr Lonely”, had already begun. A 6’2” bristly-chinned, barrel-chested “stewardess” welcomed us aboard the aircraft and announced, in a booming baritone voice, “Good Morning, My name is Sarah. Welcome aboard.” As it transpired, Sarah was a wise-cracking testament to the flight company’s equal opportunities programme. (S)he kept us amused for the whole 2-hour flight, even through the bumpiest of landings in a blustery Scots squall. I had been a fan of Harmony Korine’s since his 1997 directorial debut, the disturbingly quirky Gummo. However, I had no idea that the fidgety, punky livewire I spent two hours chatting with at a London party was Korine. I never thought to ask him what work he did- we were laughing too much, exchanging ever-more outrageous stories, and comparing near-death experiences. Only when I was leaving the party did we exchange phone numbers. A week later, as I was about to fly to Los Angeles for a 3-month run of the Tom Waits/Robert Wilson/William Burroughs theatrical collaboration The Black Rider, Korine called me and announced, “Hey. I want you to play Abe Lincoln in my new movie. We film in the Highlands of Scotland, June through August. Do the dates work?” I told him they worked, and had “his people speak to my people”. And so in June I boarded the low-cost flight heading north.

  • Michael Stevens' the Road to Interzone
    “The scholarship surrounding the life and work of William Burroughs is in the midst of a renaissance. Students of Burroughs are turning away from myths, legends, and sensationalistic biographical detail in order to delve deeply into textual analysis, archival research, and explorations of literary and artistic history. Michael Stevens’ The Road to Interzone is an important part of this changing landscape. In a manner similar to Ralph Maud’s Charles Olson’s Reading, The Road to Interzone places the life and literature of “el Hombre Invisible” into sharper focus by listing and commenting on, in obsessive detail, the breadth of literary material Burroughs read, referred to, researched, and reviewed. Stevens reveals Burroughs to be a man of letters and of great learning, while simultaneously shedding light on the personal obsessions, pet theories, childhood favorites, and guilty pleasures, which make Burroughs such a unique and fascinating figure. Stevens’ book provides a wealth of new and important information for those deeply interested in Burroughs and will no doubt prove essential to future scholarship. Like Oliver Harris’ The Secret of Fascination and Robert Sobieszek’s Ports of Entry before it, The Road to Interzone is an indispensable addition to the canon of Burroughs Studies.” -Jed Birmingham “Michael Stevens has created a new kind of biography out of love for William S. Burroughs and love of books. Author worship and bibliophilia become one at the point of obsession, which of course is the point where they become interesting. Burroughs’ reading was intense and far flung, and Stevens has sleuthed out a portrait of that reading--the books Burroughs lent his name to in the form of introductions and blurbs, the books in his various libraries, the books he refers to, the books that found their way into his writing, and much more! Along with lively notes from Stevens, we have Burroughs throughout--his opinions, perceptions, the ‘grain of his voice.’ That in itself makes Stevens’ book a notable achievement.
