Evolution of the orthopoxvirus core genome. [PDF]
Orthopoxviruses comprise several relevant pathogens, including the causative agent of smallpox and monkeypox virus. Analysis of orthopoxvirus genome evolution mainly focused on gene gains/losses. We instead analyzed core genes, which are conserved in all orthopoxviruses.

Parsnp 2.0: scalable core-genome alignment for massive microbial datasets. [PDF]
Motivation Since 2016, the number of microbial species with available reference genomes in NCBI has more than tripled. Multiple genome alignment, the process of identifying nucleotides across multiple genomes which share a common ancestor, is used as the

Identifying the core genome of the nucleus-forming bacteriophage family and characterization of Erwinia phage RAY. [PDF]
We recently discovered that some bacteriophages establish a nucleus-like replication compartment (phage nucleus), but the core genes that define nucleus-based phage replication and their phylogenetic distribution were unknown.

An evolutionary view of the Fusarium core genome. [PDF]
Fusarium , a member of the Ascomycota fungi, encompasses several pathogenic species significant to plants and animals. Some phytopathogenic species have received special attention due to their negative economic impact on the agricultural industry around ...

mOTUpan: a robust Bayesian approach to leverage metagenome-assembled genomes for core-genome estimation. [PDF]
Recent advances in sequencing and bioinformatics have expanded the tree of life by providing genomes for uncultured environmentally relevant clades, either through metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) or single-cell assembled genomes (SAGs).

Comprehensive Functional Analysis of the Enterococcus faecalis Core Genome Using an Ordered, Sequence-Defined Collection of Insertional Mutations in Strain OG1RF [PDF]
The robust ability of Enterococcus faecalis to survive outside the host and to spread via oral-fecal transmission and its high degree of intrinsic and acquired antimicrobial resistance all complicate the treatment of hospital-acquired enterococcal ...
