The genome of S. scabiei has been sequenced and is the largest Streptomyces genome known so far. The genome contains a pathogenicity island containing the genes required for S. scabiei to infect plants, and which can be transferred between different species.
Scabies (/ ˈ s k eɪ b iː z, ˈ s k eɪ b i iː z /; [10] also sometimes known as the seven-year itch) [1] is a contagious human skin infestation by the tiny (0.2–0.45 mm) mite Sarcoptes scabiei, [1] [3] variety hominis. The word is from Latin: scabere, lit. 'to scratch'. [11] The most common symptoms are severe itchiness and a pimple-like ...
Sarcoptes scabiei (/sɑːrˈkɒptiːz skeɪˈbiːaɪ/ Traditional English pronunciation of Latin) or the itch mite is a parasitic mite found in all parts of the world that burrows into skin and causes scabies. Humans become infested by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis; [1] other mammals can be
The genome sequence of S. scabiei, a member of the genus with the ability to cause potato scab disease, has been determined at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. At 10.1 Mbp long and encoding 9,107 provisional genes, it is the largest known Streptomyces genome sequenced, probably due to the large pathogenicity island .
Mites which colonize human skin are the cause of several types of itchy skin rashes, such as gamasoidosis, [51] rodent mite dermatitis, [52] grain itch, [53] grocer's itch, [53] and scabies; Sarcoptes scabiei is a parasitic mite responsible for scabies, which is one of the three most common skin disorders in children.

In today's puzzle, there are seven theme words to find (including the spangram). Hint: The first one can be found in the bottom half of the board. Here are the first two letters for each word:
A transgender man was physically tortured for more than a month in an upstate New York motel until he died, with his alleged attackers ditching his corpse in an empty field in an attempt to cover ...
Gene nomenclature was established by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), a committee of the Human Genome Organisation, for each known human gene in the form of an approved gene name and symbol (short-form abbreviation), which can be accessed through a database maintained by HGNC. Symbols are chosen to be unique, and each gene has only ...
