Screening Genome Sequences for Known RNA Genes and Motifs [PDF]
This methods paper presents computational protocols for the identification of non-coding RNA genes or RNA motifs within genomic sequences. An application to bacterial small RNA is proposed.

The infinitely many genes model with horizontal gene transfer
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 ...

The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution [PDF]
Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity.

The quest for the minimal bacterial genome
The onset of techniques for both editing extant bacterial chromosomes and synthesizing long DNA sequences has enabled addressing the question on the smallest set of genes and biological functions that are required for running an operative cell. But this is not only a fundamental scientific endeavour: simpler genomes could be easier to understand and ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

An algebraic model for inversion and deletion in bacterial genome rearrangement [PDF]
Inversions, also sometimes called reversals, are a major contributor to variation among bacterial genomes, with studies suggesting that those involving small numbers of regions are more likely than larger inversions. Deletions may arise in bacterial genomes through the same biological mechanism as inversions, and hence a model that incorporates both is

Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.

PCA and K-Means decipher genome [PDF]
In this paper, we aim to give a tutorial for undergraduate students studying statistical methods and/or bioinformatics. The students will learn how data visualization can help in genomic sequence analysis. Students start with a fragment of genetic text of a bacterial genome and analyze its structure.

Bacterial microevolution and the Pangenome [PDF]
The comparison of multiple genome sequences sampled from a bacterial population reveals considerable diversity in both the core and the accessory parts of the pangenome.
