Linking social and pathogen transmission networks using microbial genetics in giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis).

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2014
Although network analysis has drawn considerable attention as a promising tool for disease ecology, empirical research has been hindered by limitations in detecting the occurrence of pathogen transmission (who transmitted to whom) within social networks.

Individual and collective identification in contemporary forensics [PDF]

, 2020
It has long been understood that individual and collective identification are inexorably intertwined. This convergence is not limited to genetics. This paper discusses the convergence of individual and collective identification in a comparative analysis ...

Bioconversion of biphenyl to a polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer by Alcaligenes denitrificans A41

AMB Express, 2020
A polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)], was biosynthesized from biphenyl as the sole carbon source using Alcaligenes (currently Achromobacter) denitrificans A41.

Survival of the simplest: the cost of complexity in microbial evolution [PDF]

, 2018
The evolution of microbial and viral organisms often generates clonal interference, a mode of competition between genetic clades within a population. In this paper, we show that interference strongly constrains the genetic and phenotypic complexity of evolving systems.

Gut microbiota and host genetics modulate the effect of diverse diet patterns on metabolic health

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Metabolic diseases are major public health issues worldwide and are responsible for disproportionately higher healthcare costs and increased complications of many diseases including SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Host genetic regulation of human gut microbial structural variation

Nature
Although the impact of host genetics on gut microbial diversity and the abundance of specific taxa is well established1–6, little is known about how host genetics regulates the genetic diversity of gut microorganisms. Here we conducted a meta-analysis of

Variable responses of human and non-human primate gut microbiomes to a Western diet [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: The human gut microbiota interacts closely with human diet and physiology. To better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship, gut microbiome research relies on complementing human studies with manipulations of animal models ...

Competition between homologous chromosomal DNA and exogenous donor DNA to repair CRISPR/Cas9-induced double-strand breaks in Aspergillus  niger

Fungal Biology and Biotechnology
Background Aspergillus niger is well-known for its high protein secretion capacity and therefore an important cell factory for homologous and heterologous protein production.
