Atavistic Genetic Expression Dissociation (AGED) During Aging: Meta-Phylostratigraphic Evidence of Cellular and Tissue-Level Phylogenetic Dissociation. [PDF]
Aging CellAging represents an atavistic over‐representation of differential expression in the most ancient genes and under‐representation in the evolutionary youngest genes for two multi‐tissue aging databases, and tissues covering skin, ovarian, immune, senescent and mesenchymal‐senescent cells. However, some tissues like brain and mesenchymal stem cells do not

Eliciting the Functional Taxonomy from protein annotations and taxa [PDF]
, 2016 The advances of omics technologies have triggered the production of an enormous volume of data coming from thousands of species. Meanwhile, joint international efforts like the Gene Ontology (GO) consortium have worked to provide functional information ...

Cystinosin, MPDU1, SWEETs and KDELR belong to a well-defined protein family with putative function of cargo receptors involved in vesicle trafficking. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Classification of proteins into families based on remote homology often helps prediction of their biological function. Here we describe prediction of protein cargo receptors involved in vesicle formation and protein trafficking.

Genome signatures, self-organizing maps and higher order phylogenies: a parametric analysis [PDF]
, 2007 Genome signatures are data vectors derived from the compositional statistics of DNA. The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network method for the conceptualisation of relationships within complex data, such as genome signatures.

Stool microbiome dataset of the critically endangered Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata)
Data in Brief, 2021 The Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata), endemic to Puerto Rico, is the only native parrot in the United States and is classified as a critically endangered species. There are two captive populations of A.

An evolutionary perspective on the kinome of malaria parasites [PDF]
, 2012 Malaria parasites belong to an ancient lineage that diverged very early from the main branch of eukaryotes. The approximately 90-member plasmodial kinome includes a majority of eukaryotic protein kinases that clearly cluster within the AGC, CMGC, TKL ...

Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bdelloid Rotifers [PDF]
, 2008 Horizontal gene transfer in metazoans has been documented in only a few species and is usually associated with endosymbiosis or parasitism. By contrast, in bdelloid rotifers we found many genes that appear to have originated in bacteria, fungi, and ...

Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...
