What traits are carried on mobile genetic elements, and why? [PDF]

, 2010
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally.

Synthesis of empty bacterial microcompartments, directed organelle protein incorporation, and evidence of filament-associated organelle movement [PDF]

, 2010
Compartmentalization is an important process, since it allows the segregation of metabolic activities and, in the era of synthetic biology, represents an important tool by which defined microenvironments can be created for specific metabolic functions ...

Gene Location and Bacterial Sequence Divergence [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2002
Previous comparison of a relatively small set of homologous genes from Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium revealed that genes nearer to the origin of replication had substitution rates lower than genes closer to the replication terminus. The recently completed sequences of numerous bacterial genomes have allowed us to test whether this effect ...

ARAGORN, a program to detect tRNA genes and tmRNA genes in nucleotide sequences [PDF]

, 2004
A computer program, ARAGORN, identifies tRNA and tmRNA genes. The program employs heuristic algorithms to predict tRNA secondary structure, based on homology with recognized tRNA consensus sequences and ability to form a base-paired cloverleaf.

Bacterial Genes Outnumber Archaeal Genes in Eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Abstract Eukaryotes are typically depicted as descendants of archaea, but their genomes are evolutionary chimeras with genes stemming from archaea and bacteria. Which prokaryotic heritage predominates? Here, we have clustered 19,050,992 protein sequences from 5,443 bacteria and 212 archaea with 3,420,731 protein sequences from 150 ...

Lateral gene transfer between prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes: ongoing and significant? [PDF]

, 2009
The expansion of genome sequencing projects has produced accumulating evidence for lateral transfer of genes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains controversial whether these genes are of functional importance in their recipient

Phylogenomic analysis of natural selection pressure in Streptococcus genomes [PDF]

, 2007
In comparative analyses of bacterial pathogens, it has been common practice to discriminate between two types of genes: (i) those shared by pathogens and their non-pathogenic relatives (core genes), and (ii) those found exclusively in pathogens (pathogen-

The Composition and Spatial Patterns of Bacterial Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in 19 Wastewater Treatment Plants.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance are of concern for environmental safety and public health. Accumulating evidence suggests that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are as an important sink and source of pathogens and antibiotic ...

Altered PLAU Expression in Porphyromonas gingivalis-Treated Human Immortalised Oral Epithelial Cells and Its Putative Role in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]

Middle East Journal of Cancer
Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis, a key pathogen in periodontitis, has been implicated in oral carcinogenesis. The present study investigated the dysregulated genes in human oral epithelial cells (HOEC) treated with P.
