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 ...

Salivary microbial signature highlighting actinomyces as a predictor of immune-checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy response in advanced non–small cell lung cancer [PDF]
Journal of Translational MedicineBackground Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet reliable biomarkers beyond programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression remain limited. Increasing evidence links the gut microbiome
