RNA‐Seq for Bacterial Gene Expression [PDF]
Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry, 2018 AbstractRNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become the preferred method for global quantification of bacterial gene expression. With the continued improvements in sequencing technology and data analysis tools, the most labor‐intensive and expensive part of an RNA‐seq experiment is the preparation of sequencing libraries, which is also essential for the ...

Adaptive laboratory evolution of a genome-reduced Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2019 Synthetic biology aims to design and construct bacterial genomes harboring the minimum number of genes required for self-replicable life. However, the genome-reduced bacteria often show impaired growth under laboratory conditions that cannot be ...

The infinitely many genes model with horizontal gene transfer
, 2014 The genome of bacterial species is much more flexible than that of eukaryotes. Moreover, the distributed genome hypothesis for bacteria states that the total number of genes present in a bacterial population is greater than the genome of every single ...

Diversity of Bacterial Biosynthetic Genes in Maritime Antarctica [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Bacterial natural products (NPs) are still a major source of new drug leads. Polyketides (PKs) and non-ribosomal peptides (NRP) are two pharmaceutically important families of NPs and recent studies have revealed Antarctica to harbor endemic polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes, likely to be involved in the ...

The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict [PDF]
, 2012 Bacterial genomes commonly contain ‘addiction’ gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy.

Mangrove microniches determine the structural and functional diversity of enriched petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading consortia [PDF]
, 2010 In this study, the combination of culture enrichments and molecular tools was used to identify bacterial guilds, plasmids and functional genes potentially important in the process of petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) decontamination in mangrove microniches ...

MLST revisited: the gene-by-gene approach to bacterial genomics [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2013 Assessing the genetic variation of bacteria has become ever more complex as more sequencing data has become available. Here, Maiden and colleagues propose a gene-by-gene approach of analysing whole-genome data; this approach is based on their experience with multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and reflects the functional and evolutionary relationships ...

Bacterial syntenies: an exact approach with gene quorum [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2011 The automatic identification of syntenies across multiple species is a key step in comparative genomics that helps biologists shed light both on evolutionary and functional problems.In this paper, we present a versatile tool to extract all syntenies from multiple bacterial species based on a clear-cut and very flexible definition of the synteny blocks ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]
, 2011 Both Neisseria meningitidis and the closely related bacterium Neisseria lactamica colonise human nasopharyngeal mucosal surface, but only N. meningitidis invades the bloodstream to cause potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia.
