Evolution of substrate specificity in a retained enzyme driven by gene loss [PDF]
eLife, 2017 The connection between gene loss and the functional adaptation of retained proteins is still poorly understood. We apply phylogenomics and metabolic modeling to detect bacterial species that are evolving by gene loss, with the finding that ...

Impact of gut microbiota on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: insights from a leave-one-out cross-validation study [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionEnteric dysbacteriosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying causal relationship remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota and
