Enzyme-assisted high throughput sequencing of an expanded genetic alphabet at single base resolution
Nature CommunicationsWith just four building blocks, low sequence information density, few functional groups, poor control over folding, and difficulties in forming compact folds, natural DNA and RNA have been disappointing platforms from which to evolve receptors, ligands ...

Bacterial N4-methylcytosine as an epigenetic mark in eukaryotic DNA
Nature Communications, 2022 Eukaryotic DNA can be methylated as 5-methylcytosine and N6-methyladenine, but whether other forms of DNA methylation occur has been controversial. Here the authors show that a bacterial DNA methyltransferase was acquired >60 Mya in bdelloid rotifers ...

Molecular Evolution of the Major Arthropod Chemoreceptor Gene Families.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2019 The evolutionary origins of the three major families of chemoreceptors in arthropods-the odorant receptor (OR), gustatory receptor (GR), and ionotropic receptor (IR) families-occurred at the base of the Insecta, Animalia, and Protostomia, respectively ...

Spatial organization of the kelp microbiome at micron scales
Microbiome, 2022 Background Elucidating the spatial structure of host-associated microbial communities is essential for understanding taxon-taxon interactions within the microbiota and between microbiota and host. Macroalgae are colonized by complex microbial communities,

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Though all theories for the origin of life require a source of energy to promote primordial chemical reactions, the nature of energy that drove the emergence of metabolism at origins is still debated. We reasoned that evidence for the nature of energy at

The SoftWipe tool and benchmark for assessing coding standards adherence of scientific software
Scientific Reports, 2021 Scientific software from all areas of scientific research is pivotal to obtaining novel insights. Yet the coding standards adherence of scientific software is rarely assessed, even though it might lead to incorrect scientific results in the worst case ...

Sex chromosome evolution: molecular aspects of Y-chromosome degeneration in Drosophila.
Genome Research, 2005 Ancient Y-chromosomes of various organisms contain few active genes and an abundance of repetitive DNA. The neo-Y chromosome of Drosophila miranda is in transition from an ordinary autosome to a genetically inert Y-chromosome, while its homolog, the neo ...

Molecular evolution of the Chlamydiaceae. [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2001 Phylogenetic analyses of surface antigens and other chlamydial proteins were used to reconstruct the evolution of the Chlamydiaceae. Trees for all five coding genes [the major outer-membrane protein (MOMP), GroEL chaperonin, KDO-transferase, small cysteine-rich lipoprotein and 60 kDa cysteine-rich protein] supported the current organization of the ...

Evolutionary genomics of socially polymorphic populations of Pogonomyrmex californicus
BMC BiologyBackground Social insects vary considerably in their social organization both between and within species. In the California harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex californicus (Buckley 1867), colonies are commonly founded and headed by a single queen (haplometrosis,
