Uneven distribution of cobamide biosynthesis and dependence in bacteria predicted by comparative genomics

The ISME Journal, 2018
The vitamin B12 family of cofactors known as cobamides are essential for a variety of microbial metabolisms. We used comparative genomics of 11,000 bacterial species to analyze the extent and distribution of cobamide production and use across bacteria ...

Reconstruction of proto-vertebrate, proto-cyclostome and proto-gnathostome genomes provides new insights into early vertebrate evolution

Nature Communications, 2021
Early vertebrate genomes were shaped by multiple whole-genome duplication (WGD) events of debated timings. Here the authors’ reconstruction of ancestral genomes using the probabilistic macrosynteny model supports a WGD shared by all vertebrates and a ...

Evolution and comparative genomics of the most common Trichoderma species

BMC Genomics, 2019
The growing importance of the ubiquitous fungal genus Trichoderma (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) requires understanding of its biology and evolution. Many Trichoderma species are used as biofertilizers and biofungicides and T. reesei is the model organism for

The evolution of comparative genomics [PDF]

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2014
In this commentary I have only highlighted a few dimensions that comparative genomics has reached into. Looking at a PubMed search of publications with the exact combination and order of the words “comparative genomics” in the title or abstract identifies 3752 articles as of the date of this writing.

Comparative genomic hybridization

Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2005
▪ Abstract  Altering DNA copy number is one of the many ways that gene expression and function may be modified. Some variations are found among normal individuals ( 14 , 35 , 103 ), others occur in the course of normal processes in some species ( 33 ), and still others participate in causing various disease states.

Synthesis of a Morpholino Nucleic Acid (MNA)-Uridine Phosphoramidite, and Exon Skipping Using MNA/2′-O-Methyl Mixmer Antisense Oligonucleotide

Molecules, 2016
In this study, we synthesised a morpholino nucleoside-uridine (MNA-U) phosphoramidite and evaluated the potential of a MNA-modified antisense oligonucleotide (AO) sequences to induce exon 23 skipping in mdx mouse myotubes in vitro towards extending the ...

Comparative genomics of the major parasitic worms

Nature Genetics, 2017
Parasitic nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths (flatworms) cause debilitating chronic infections of humans and animals, decimate crop production and are a major impediment to socioeconomic development.

Exogenous Melatonin Attenuates Post-Harvest Decay by Increasing Antioxidant Activity in Wax Apple (Syzygium samarangense)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Wax apple is one of the most popular tropical fruit but undergoes serious post-harvest decay during storage, transportation and marketing. Melatonin (MT) plays important roles in plant growth, development and stress responses.
