A new approach to in silico SNP detection and some new SNPs in the Bacillus anthracis genome

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Bacillus anthracis is one of the most monomorphic pathogens known. Identification of polymorphisms in its genome is essential for taxonomic classification, for determination of recent evolutionary changes, and for evaluation of pathogenic ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Isolation and characterization of bacteria from two soil samples and their effect on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth promotion

Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2020
Since ancient times, soil bacteria play an important role on crop growth and yield by genetic transformation naturally. But the continuous use of chemical fertilizers reduces their number and proper environment for multiplication.

Redefining the Australian Anthrax Belt: Modeling the Ecological Niche and Predicting the Geographic Distribution of Bacillus anthracis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
The ecology and distribution of B. anthracis in Australia is not well understood, despite the continued occurrence of anthrax outbreaks in the eastern states of the country.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Typing of Bacillus anthracis from Sverdlovsk Tissue

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
A small number of conserved canonical single nucleotide polymorphisms (canSNP) that define major phylogenetic branches for Bacillus anthracis were used to place a Sverdlovsk patient’s B. anthracis genotype into 1 of 12 subgroups.

Integrative Modeling in the Age of Machine Learning: A Summary of HADDOCK Strategies in CAPRI Rounds 47–55

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47–55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 ...

Identification of Bacillus anthracis specific chromosomal sequences by suppressive subtractive hybridization

BMC Genomics, 2004
Background Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus are closely related members of the B. cereus-group of bacilli. Suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to identify specific chromosomal sequences unique to B ...

Performance of pyDock in 8th CAPRI: Energy‐Based Scoring Applied to Docking and AlphaFold Models

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 8th CAPRI edition has shown a significant evolution in the field of protein–protein complex structure prediction. We have participated in all 11 targets proposed in this edition, involving domain‐domain, protein–protein, protein‐peptide, and protein‐DNA interactions, including homo‐ and hetero‐meric interfaces.
