(Genome) Size Matters [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2007
The laws of natural selection dictate that bacteria will eventually develop resistance to practically any antibiotic. Selective pressure exerted by widespread antimicrobial use is a driving force in the development of antibiotic resistance. —Stuart Levy The quotation above (http://www.tufts.edu/med/apua/Practitioners/ABRcontrol.html) has led to ...

Genomic adaptations in information processing underpin trophic strategy in a whole-ecosystem nutrient enrichment experiment

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Several universal genomic traits affect trade-offs in the capacity, cost, and efficiency of the biochemical information processing that underpins metabolism and reproduction. We analyzed the role of these traits in mediating the responses of a planktonic

A new reference genome assembly for the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (

Sequencing the Major Mycosphaerella Pathogens of Wheat and Banana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mycosphaerella is one of the largest genera of plant-pathogenic fungi with more than 1,000 named species, many of which are important pathogens causing leaf spotting diseases in a wide variety of crops including cereals, citrus, banana, eucalypts, soft ...

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Current phylogenetic sampling reveals that dioecy and an XY sex chromosome pair evolved once, or possibly twice, in the genus Asparagus. Although there appear to be some lineage-specific polyploidization events, the base chromosome number of 2n = 2× = 20

Whence Came These Plants Most Foul? Phylogenomics and Biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Lowiaceae (order Zingiberales) is a small family of forest herbs in Southeast Asia. All species belong to the genus Orchidantha. They are known for possessing orchid-like flowers that are smelly, apparently mimicking dead animals, feces, or mushrooms ...
