eLife, 2022 The root-associated microbiome (rhizobiome) affects plant health, stress tolerance, and nutrient use efficiency. However, it remains unclear to what extent the composition of the rhizobiome is governed by intraspecific variation in host plant genetics in

Global divergence of microbial genome sequences mediated by propagating fronts [PDF]
, 2005 We model the competition between recombination and point mutation in microbial genomes, and present evidence for two distinct phases, one uniform, the other genetically diverse. Depending on the specifics of homologous recombination, we find that global sequence divergence can be mediated by fronts propagating along the genome, whose characteristic ...

Relationship between fitness and heterogeneity in exponentially growing microbial populations [PDF]
, 2021 Despite major environmental and genetic differences, microbial metabolic networks are known to generate consistent physiological outcomes across vastly different organisms. This remarkable robustness suggests that, at least in bacteria, metabolic activity may be guided by universal principles.

Properties, Genetics and Innate Immune Function of the Cuticle in Egg-Laying Species
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Cleidoic eggs possess very efficient and orchestrated systems to protect the embryo from external microbes until hatch. The cuticle is a proteinaceous layer on the shell surface in many bird and some reptile species.

LATS kinases and SLUG regulate the transition to advanced stage in aggressive oral cancer cells
Scientific Reports, 2022 The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical process by which cancer cells acquire malignant features. However, the molecular mechanism and functional implications of EMT and the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) in tumor ...

LRBmat: A Novel Gut Microbial Interaction and Individual Heterogeneity Inference Method for Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
, 2023 Many diseases are considered to be closely related to the changes in the gut microbial community, including colorectal cancer (CRC), which is one of the most common cancers in the world. The diagnostic classification and etiological analysis of CRC are two critical issues worthy of attention.

Fecal microbiota transplants: Emerging social representations in the English-language print media [PDF]
, 2019 open access articleThis study investigates how English-language news sources have represented fecal microbiota transplants (FMT). FMT involves transferring stool from a healthy donor to a recipient with a dysfunctional intestinal flora in order to ...

A Quantitative Test of Population Genetics Using Spatio-Genetic Patterns in Bacterial Colonies [PDF]
The American Naturalist 178, 538 (2011), 2011 It is widely accepted that population genetics theory is the cornerstone of evolutionary analyses. Empirical tests of the theory, however, are challenging because of the complex relationships between space, dispersal, and evolution. Critically, we lack quantitative validation of the spatial models of population genetics.
