Comparative study of MFT-like gene sequences in S. melongena with transcripts of its wild relative, S. incanumThe MFT-like genes were mined from the de novo assembled transcriptome sequences of S. incanum, the wild relative of S. melongena. The coding sequences of SmMFT-1 gene had one variation as compared to the MFT-1 transcript of S. incanum (hereafter referred to as SiMFT-1). The corresponding amino acid variation from Threonine (T) to Serine (S) was predicted to be tolerated (SIFT analysis).

HighlightsPassive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides new opportunities to characterise zoonotic and vector-borne disease dynamics in changing landscapes. Acoustic data can inform our understanding of variables that drive transmission risk, including human and wildlife occupancy over space and time and changes in habitat quality. With low-cost hardware, cloud-based computing, and open-source platforms, acoustic data collection and analysis methods are increasingly accessible to nonspecialist users.
