. Compared with Sanger sequencing‐based methods, pyrosequencing provides orders of magnitude more data on the diversity of organisms in their natural habitat, but its technological biases and relative accuracy remain poorly understood. This study compares the performance of pyrosequencing and traditional sequencing for species’ recovery of ectomycorrhizal fungi on root tips in a Cameroonian rain forest and addresses biases related to multi‐template PCR and pyrosequencing analyses. Pyrosequencing and the traditional method yielded qualitatively similar results, but there were slight, but significant, differences that affected the taxonomic view of the fungal community. We found that most pyrosequencing singletons were artifactual and contained a strongly elevated proportion of insertions compared with natural intra‐ and interspecific variation. The alternative primers, DNA extraction methods and PCR replicates strongly influenced the richness and community composition as recovered by pyrosequencing. Pyrosequencing offers a powerful alternative for the identification of ectomycorrhizal fungi in pooled root samples, but requires careful selection of molecular tools.
A well‐populated backbone database facilitates the detection of biological and technical artifacts. The pyrosequencing pipeline is available at.
Updated 2/ Mizzou Baseball poster, featuring #44 Eric Anderson The first few times I saw Brock Bond come up to bat, I would blink twice before realizing it wasn't Jayce Tingler, who used to wear #4. Now Brian Sharp has inherited #4. Only someone who has been around Mizzou Baseball as long as I have (or longer) would make a connection like that, and probably even many long-time fans don't remember uniform numbers.
Being a Mizzou Baseball History nut, I've been doing some research into historical jersey numbers. Here's my list as it stands so far. The list goes back through most of the Tim Jamieson years, plus a few odds and ends of numbers and names I've managed to rummage up from earlier years.
If anyone has resources with other earlier rosters with numbers, I'd be delighted to include them. Or if you find an error, let me know. Contact me at. Players who spent time in the affiliated minor leagues are in BOLD.
Players who made it to the Major Leagues are in BLUE. Players/Coaches with Retired Numbers are in RED.
(Columbia Tribune, 5/28/2011) Hanging in Missouri's home dugout is a No. 21 jersey from the 2002-03 era that was discovered among the rubble in Joplin. A photo was posted online, and catcher Ben Turner sent a text message to his father, Mark, who had driven into St. Louis on Friday to watch his younger son play a high school game.
Mark Turner stopped in Joplin between 11 p.m. And midnight on the drive back to Oklahoma City to pick up the tattered jersey.
That was the only piece of property former KOMU reporter Brandon Spiegel, now working in Joplin, could find in the remains, miles away from his home. “He goes, 'Take it and put it in their dugout,'” Mark Turner said. “ 'It kind of represents what you guys have done this year between the first half and the second half of the season.' ” The jersey design is from '00-'03, from the James Boone era. Kelly Fick, who wore #21 in 2011, pitched the game of his career in Game #4 of the Big 12 Tournament to send the Tigers in the championship game, while the Joplin jersey hung in the dugout.

You can read his. As Kegger said in his farewell, 'the University has started, and they are finally able to provide information in a timely fashion'. But while they were able, actually following through on that capability was another thing. The Athletic Department's foray into the internet was in its infancy and more focused on football and basketball than anything else. And so I picked up the baton from Kegger and began, first at (now defunct), and then here on Blogger.
And now, about 14 or 15 years later, this is my farewell post. The athletic department, through and through their new 'strategic communications' effort, are now doing a pretty good job of covering MU Baseball 'in a timely fashion'. And I just don't have the time I used to have for an unproductive, unprofitable and often thankless time-gobbler. However, I'm not going to quit covering Mizzou Baseball completely.
I plan to continue to point fans to good info and links by way of Twitter (follow me ). And if you'll look at the left-hand column here on the home page, you'll see there's now a feed of everything I post on Twitter, for those of you who would rather continue visiting this blog instead of figuring out Twitter. And I'm still occasionally going to be writing some longer pieces about Mizzou recruits, MU alums in the pros, and whatever else strikes me as useful, at, the best source for Mizzou Sports on the internet. Tweets linking to those posts will also be on the Twitter feed. I plan to leave tise site open and active for a long while. The Twitter feed will keep on ticking and I'll try to keep the lists of links updated along the left and right columns, which I've worked to make the best list of Mizzou Baseball related links available. You might want to make sure your bookmarks or favorites link to the full URL of this site, in case I decide some day to stop paying $8.95 a year to keep the URL active.
On the final day of our 2013 Tip of the Cap series, we take note of some of the special achievements by players, fans, media and others involved with the Tigers' 2013 season. Best reason to watch a game from the third base line 3rd Base Sliders If you went to SEC weekend series at Taylor Stadium all year and never wandered down by the pavilion, you didn't discover the concessions stand, and you missed some of the best food served at Simmons Field since Johnny's Beanery ran the concessions back in the 90's. Chef Travis Taylor served up fresh grilled philly cheese and ham and cheese sliders, Chicago dog sliders, grilled corn on the cob, and more. Mmm good, but you missed it. And now they're already working on a new building and seating area in that spot, which I suppose means they probably won't be back next season. But I'll be following my nose on that first SEC Friday night next season, just to make sure.
The Ian Kinsler Base Cadet Award I need some input here.who wins in a race, Billy Butler or @? — Hunter Mense (@HunterMense) I'm really tempted to give this annual award for creative base-running to Dylan Kelly. We were warned early on about the catcher when Rob Z told “He may run a little weird, but he is a phenomenal teammate.” Watching DK run the bases or run down an errant baseball was like watching a Teenage Mutant Ninja Hermit Crab chasing down a meal.
But considering Kelly only attempted one steal all season (at which he failed), he hardly qualifies. Dane Opel actually lead the team in base-stealing blunders, but wasn't particularly spectacular in doing so. And besides, the most spectacular base running catastrophe I saw all season was the now-famous slide into third by the orginal Mizzou Base Cadet, who face-plowed his way into reclaiming the award that bears his name. Black & Gold Glove Josh Lester not only played four different infield positions for the Tigers in 2013, he also led the team with the fewest errors (4) among Tiger infielders.
Among the outfield, Dane Opel had only 2 errors, and led the nation with 15 outfield assists. And then there's Dylan Kelly, who committed only 1 error the entire season, and ably handled his duties as a backstop and handler of pitchers. On a team that gained a reputation for sometimes catastrophic defensive failures, there really were a lot of amazing plays this season. Keaton Steele made an acrobatic stop at first in one game that took my breath away. Here's a tip of my cap for all the times this team flashed the leather like pros. John McKee HBP Award Dane Opel led the squad with 13 HBP, followed closely by Keaton Steele with 12. Between the two of them, they accounted for about a third of the team's 'accidental' plunkings'.
Mark Alexander Phoenix Award On May 17, 2010, Anderson had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. On May 17, 2012, Anderson had surgery to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. On May 17, 2013, Anderson's right arm helped the Tigers clinch a spot in their first Southeastern Conference Tournament Eric Anderson has impressed everyone with his bulldog determination to get past all the injuries and be the pitcher he once was. He has definitely earned the come-back player award this season. Nattering Nabobs. Without a doubt the best coverage of MU Baseball this season was provided.
I was most impressed by the way he treated Mizzou Baseball the same way beat writers cover Mizzou Football or Basketball, as an important part of MU Athletics. Many writers treat Baseball as one of the 'unimportant' sports, and they treat it with kid gloves because it's not worth their time to dig and expose and question.
As a result, fans, players and coaches may come to expect more positive reporting and are a bit disturbed when someone plays a different tune. Alex Silverman marched to the beat of an aspiring serious sportswriter, though, chasing down leads and calling things like he saw them.
'Root, root, root for the road team.' This could have been the refrain Saturday at Taylor Stadium, where No. 2 LSU clobbered the Missouri baseball team 8-0. Even after a five-hour rain delay, which several LSU fans spent tailgating under cover in the parking lots along Carrie Francke Drive outside the stadium, hundreds of purple-and-gold clad fans filled the seats behind the LSU dugout along the first-base line. 'We want a home-field advantage and, hell, we felt like we were in Alex Box,' MU outfielder Logan Pearson said. 'Their fans stomped our fans today.'
That apathy seemed evident following Tuesday’s loss. Outfielder Case Munson, who made a tremendous diving catch in the contest, was all smiles with reporters after the game despite the result. It was Missouri third baseman Shane Segovia’s shot at redemption. A base hit in the bottom of the 15th inning Saturday would make it all OK. The ball he bobbled half-an-inning earlier that lead to Florida’s go-ahead run wouldn’t matter. The night before, Missouri head coach Tim Jamieson pinch-hit for Segovia in the bottom of the ninth, a decision that haunted him after his replacement, Jake Ivory, struck out looking. “I second guessed it,” Jamieson said.
“Even though Shane’s struggling, he probably was still the best option at that point.” The Missouri baseball team's postgame reaction Sunday at Taylor Stadium was an unusual sight. The Missouri players were uncharacteristically jubilant after sweeping Auburn in a doubleheader Sunday, 3-1 in the first game and 4-1 in the second game, to take its first Southeastern Conference series win at home. There were high fives all around, pitcher Keaton Steele and infielder Gavin Stark shared a chest bump-based dance, and infielder Mike McGraw rode on the shoulders of outfielder Brannon Champagne. 'Pregame I didn’t sense it,' Jamieson said.
'Anytime that happens, it’s lack of focus, not good enough focus. I can’t explain it.' Jamieson has been at a loss throughout the season, which is on pace to be his worst at Missouri since his first season in 1995. Missouri signed Jamieson to a contract extension through 2015 following the team's Big 12 Conference tournament title last season. Honorary mention goes to Jack Witthaus, writing for The Maneater, who often was competing with Silverman for the same stories, and sometimes beating him to the punch. He caught the attention of this Mizzou Baseball history buff, though, with a.

Number Cruncher Sam Nasci Sam Nasci is, as Bill Connelly of calls it, a Numbers NERRRRD. A Junior this year at Mizzou, his dream is to be a sportswriter focusing on statistical analysis of sports, especially baseball. Sabermetrics, as the nerds like to call it. Sam came to me before the season and offered to help me out by writing previews of each MU Baseball opponent this season, and we cut a mutually beneficial deal: less work for me, experience and exposure for him I received several comments this season, telling me, I really liked that preview you did of this weekend's series! It wasn't me, folks. Sam I am not, but I tip my cap to him for adding a different flavor to SimmonsField.com this season with his pieces. That's it for the 2013 season.
The results were disappointing, but it's still baseball. Put two teams of nine kids on a field with a ball and a bat and I'll be glad to watch. There is one last Tip of the Cap post.

The catch phrase before the season began was 'Embrace the Underdog'. And then, it seemed that everything that could go wrong did go wrong. The team hit at an historic low production level.
The defense struggled to maintain leads. The two players in that intro video who said, 'I won't back down' and 'I will make plays', weren't even on the active roster by season's end. What was the problem? It was the weather.
Specifically, it was the cancelation of four nonconference weekend home games in March. When SEC play started, the Tigers were a step behind. Not only have they have not been able to catch up, it seems that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
'I mean, I know this is not a great team, but we've been good enough to be right there,' Jamieson said last week, 'and you wonder, 'OK, if we'd been able to tweak a few things or get guys more prepared by playing more games, could it have been different?' It's not a great team, but it could have been a.500 club. It could have been a club that at least gives you some positives.' Perhaps we all should have been recognized it as a bad omen when. The weather man was not kind to Mizzou Baseball in 2013. The schedule seemed to stumble along in fits and starts all season long. Entire home opener series vs.
Northwestern: cancelled due to huge snow. Three games lost. Game 1 at Memphis was pushed to a later start time due to weather.
2-day series against Eastern Michigan pushed to a double header (7 innings each) on Wednesday, in bitter cold. San Francisco: cancelled.
Game vs. D-II Truman State cobbled into the schedule. One game added, but it doesn't really count in the official RPI. South Carolina moved up to be part of a Saturday double-header. In bitter cold.
Two-game set against Arkansas State was moved forward to a double-header, due to weather. Tennessee moved up to part of a Saturday double-header. Tuesday game against Nebraska-Omaha was pushed back to Wednesday, due to yet another big snow.
Game 2 against LSU was pushed back from 1:00 to 6:00 due to rain, wiping out a scheduled national TV broadcast. Missouri State at Mizzou was postponed a week due to severe thunderstorms. Murray State game was cancelled outright due to heavy rains in the forecast. Saturday game vs. Auburn postponed to later in the day, then postponed to be part of a 7-innings double header on Sunday. On the other hand, Mizzou Softball saw 14 games cancelled outright, plus many more postponed and rescheduled, including weather delays in their SEC Tournament.
They finished 35-11, 15-8 in the SEC, won the Regional they hosted in Columbia and at this writing are preparing to host a Super Regional. And they did that even with their pitching staff in disarray.
So, yes, the weather problems were hard to deal with. But that doesn't really explain this season.
The Best of Times, The Worst of Times The 2013 Tigers were a bipolar team, proving themselves to be both one of the best and one of the worst Tiger squads in decades. This season's pitching staff has proved themselves to be one of the best and deepest Mizzou fans have seen in quite a while. The team ERA of 3.87 is surpassed only by the Max Scherzer teams of 2004-2006 during the Tim Jamieson era of the past two decades, and prior to that you have to go back to 1981 to find a better pitching staff. The offense, however, stands out historically in a way not as admirable.
The Tigers' team batting average of.245 is the worst team BA since 1969, when the Tigers managed a weak.230 average. The final game of 2013 summed up the entire season in 17 long innings. Rob Z pitched a masterful 9 innings, Keaton Steele followed up with 7 more scoreless innings, and it was a run given up by Jake Walsh in the 17th inning that ended the Tigers' season.
That incredible pitching performance just wasn't good enough to make up for the Tiger lineup's.193 batting average for the game, getting their only run on a wild throw. It was an exhilarating game and a frustrating game. And it was an exhilarating and frustrating season. In the end its our defiance that redeems us.
— Breckin Williams (@BreckinW) Leaving the Zou. 'We're still going to have to score runs, and that has been our biggest issue,' Jamieson said. 'Rob has been great for his entire career at our place. He is going to be a high draft at the end of the year, and he has a good professional career ahead of him, and he'll compete and do fine, but we have to score runs.' The story of Mizzou Baseball in 2013 has been a consistent one, and it continued right on through the final 17 inning chapter.
It's the story of a bi-polar team. And no, I'm not talking about the weather.
In the final marathon against fellow defending conference tournament champion Mississippi State, the Tiger pitching shined as always. One of the best and deepest pitching staffs of Tim Jamieson's tenure represented themselves well, led by their ace, Rob Zastryzny, and the Man of Steele, Keaton Steele. At least on this night, Zastryzny silenced any and all doubters. The lefty was terrific against the Bulldogs, striking out seven, walking two and allowing just one run on seven hits in nine stellar innings of work.
'He was phenomenal, focused and on a mission tonight,' Missouri coach Tim Jamieson said. 'I think that's about as well as he has thrown all-season long for nine-straight innings.
'I think he's the next of our pitchers to make it to the big leagues,' Jamieson continued. 'He has big-league type of stuff and his competitiveness is off the charts out there.' 'I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce the first left-hander's name but we'll probably all know his name in five years when he's playing in the big leagues because he's really good,' Mississippi State head coach John Cohen on Missouri left-handed pitcher Rob Zastryzny On the other hand, last night's game was typical of the entire season for the offense as well. MU's lone run was scored on a wild throw.
The hitters, while they gave it everything they had, it just wasn't enough yet again. The team managed 11 hits hits in 57 at bats, for a.193 batting average, with only one extra-base hit. And as usual against a ranked SEC team, they weren't given many walks or other free bases to exploit. And so a difficult season ends. The Tigers finish 18-32 overall, 10-20 in the SEC. None of the regular hitters finished with a batting average above.300.
On the other hand, all the regulars managed to lift their averages above the.200 Mendoza line by the season's close. But the pitching amassed a team ERA of 3.87, which is good enough to carry a team deep into the post-season.if it weren't for the fact that the offense has handed its opponents' pitchers a 3.60 ERA.
As I've said all year long, it wasn't about the move to the SEC. A team that only hits.245 as a team isn't going to compete in any conference. But, like every Cubs fan knows, there's always next year. Over the coming week we'll be posting our annual season wrap-up series here at before we put this season to a merciful end.
This may be the best 1-9 lineup that the Tigers have faced all year. In the three-hole resides Hunter Renfroe. I highlighted him as the SEC leader in isolated power, as one of the best all around hitters in the conference. He is first in the SEC in slugging percentage (.691), and has drawn almost as many walks (33) as he has struck out (34). His OBP of.459 is also good for the team lead. Five of their starters are hitting above.300, which brings the team batting average to.295; good enough for third in the SEC (Vanderbilt leads at.319).
Their run production absolutely obliterates their opponents, outscoring them 342-189 which is just a sample of their offensive domination. For the season, there is no major offensive category that the Bulldogs are inferior to their opponents. The highlight of the Bulldog pitching staff is their bullpen. It is chalked full of guys with ERAs under 2.00, with the capability of striking out a lot of hitters. Tiger hitters will will be facing somewhat of an unknown as Bulldogs coach John Cohen is planning to start a sophomore pitcher with only 21 innings in his entire career at Mississippi State.
He has appeared in 12 games this season, with a total of 16 innings pitched, so he probably is not being counted on to go very long as a starter. In effect, Mizzou may be facing a Johnny Wholestaff situation in this game, with the Bulldogs relying on that deep bullpen against what they obviously consider to be an inferior opponent.
