Bacterial Genes Outnumber Archaeal Genes in Eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 The origin of eukaryotes is one of evolution’s most important transitions, yet it is still poorly understood. Evidence for how it occurred should be preserved in eukaryotic genomes.

Bacterial gene therapy strategies [PDF]
The Journal of Pathology, 2005 AbstractThe ability of bacteria to mediate gene transfer has only recently been established and these observations have led to the utilization of various bacterial strains in gene therapy. The types of bacteria used include attenuated strains of Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, and Yersinia, as well as non‐pathogenic Escherichia coli.

Bacterial cooperation through horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Cooperation exists across all scales of biological organization, from genetic elements to complex human societies. Bacteria cooperate by secreting molecules that benefit all individuals in the population (i.e., public goods). Genes associated with cooperation can spread among strains through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). We discuss recent findings on

Bt, Not a Threat to Propylea japonica
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Given the ever-increasing commercial planting of transgenic plants across the world, an evaluation of their impacts on non-target organisms is as an important part of the risk assessment process.

Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function [PDF]
, 2020 Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are the backbone of all processes in living cells. In this work we relate conservation, essentiality and functional repertoire of a gene to the connectivity $k$ of the corresponding protein in the PPI networks ...

Evolutionary Conservation of Bacterial Essential Metabolic Genes across All Bacterial Culture Media. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 One of the basic postulates of molecular evolution is that functionally important genes should evolve slower than genes of lesser significance. Essential genes, whose knockout leads to a lethal phenotype are considered of high functional importance, yet ...

Genomic and ecological attributes of marine bacteriophages encoding bacterial virulence genes
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Bacteriophages encode genes that modify bacterial functions during infection. The acquisition of phage-encoded virulence genes is a major mechanism for the rise of bacterial pathogens.

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020 Bacterial blight of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most critical diseases in rice. In order to study rice responsive genes to bacterial stress, microarray data were retrieved from GEO dataset. To identify the responsive

eLife, 2014 Bacteria have to avoid recognition by the host immune system in order to establish a successful infection. Peptidoglycan, the principal constituent of virtually all bacterial surfaces, is a specific molecular signature recognized by dedicated host ...
